Obama, Romney Play Halo 4 Into Wee Hours Of Morning
Mitt and Barack pause for a photo-op with Master Chief while picking up a copy of the game

WASHINGTON (CAP) - According to campaign insiders, President Obama and Mitt Romney spent their election night playing the new Halo 4, occasionally pausing the Xbox game to check swing state results. Both said they learned a great deal about their opponent from fighting online in multiplayer mode.

"Mitt is a formidable rival - he's good with the Needler," said Obama. "Whenever he frags me, he just stands over the body with that look of pity on his face. It's so annoying."

The new game follows the trials and tribulations of Master Chief, a commander who fights alien intruders. Both acknowledged that the character possessed leadership qualities neither of them has.

"I'm just glad he didn't run for president," noted Obama.

But even in the brutal warfare of online gaming, there was bipartisanship.

"Romney shared his Warthog with me and we destroyed a Wraith together," said Obama. "If we can put aside differences in the virtual world, maybe we can do it in the real world.

"Ehh, probably not," he added.
