Republican Diamond Bar City Council member Carol Herrera said Tuesday night she is very upset after hearing President Obama has been re-elected.

"With all the issues and problems in this country, people still went and vote for Obama," Herrera said. "I feel very upset. The economy is sluggish, jobs are lost, business is falling. Obama's policy is always spending more money and spending more money."

Although Herrera said she doesn't know Mitt Romney personally, she has confidence in his policy.

"He is more conservative," she said. "He knows what the country needs."

California Sen. Bob Huff said he's very frustrated over the re-election and that he disagrees with Obama's policies.

"Romney is much better to get the nation back to work," Huff said. "But it is what it is."

Huff predicted Obama's re-election earlier Tuesday.

"My observation is that Obama should have at least 274 electoral votes. I don't think it will be as close as the election in 2000 between Al Gore and George W. Bush. We shouldn't have that kind of thing that will takes several weeks to get the final result."
