It wasn't quite 2008, but Chicago celebrated in style. The 2012 Obamapalooza wasn't an electric celebration at the lakefront. It was a sigh of relief and back to work. If you want to relive 2008, see our posts from four years ago. If you want a taste of Tuesday, watch the brief video below, shared by one of our Flickr contributors. Also, see more photos by Kevin Gebhardt, John V. Santore and the Chicagoist Flickr pool contributors.
