Since millions of people voted for the president, it would be impossible to give you their names; besides, voting is confidential, so we cannot say which people voted for which candidates unless those people publicly said so in the media. (This sometimes happens with celebrities or famous people, who will say they voted for a certain candidate; General Colin Powell voted for President Obama, for example, and said so.) While a majority of the people who voted for Mr. Obama were Democrats (members of the Democratic party), there were also some moderate and liberal Republicans (like Colin Powell) who voted for him too.
Technically no. You vote for the President and they are a team, so if you Voted for President Obama, you also voted for Joe Biden.

Because he was the first black man in history to run for president so people voted for the black man. Im not trying to be racist.
Romney, Obama (who won) and two other people that nobody voted for... Nobody even knows their names.
The American people voted for him, because he is a natural leader. One of the best the USA has had in a long time.
