November 08, 2012 00:56

AFP: A moving photo posted by President Barack Obama on his Twitter and Facebook pages just as TV networks announced his victory has made social media history as the most retweeted and shared ever.

The shot of a happy-looking Obama holding his wife in a loving embrace -- captioned with the words "four more years" -- had been retweeted over 650,200 times today and "liked" by 3.2 million people on Facebook. Obama -- who swept to re-election despite slow economic recovery and high unemployment -- sealed his tech-savvy reputation yesterday by announcing his win on social networks with the photo, hours before his victory speech.

"This Barack Obama photo is the most-liked Facebook photo of all time," the social network announced.
