All at the Sussex Amateur Brain Surgery Club wish to congratulate Barrack Obama and the American people on the results of their recent general election.

Even the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, congratulated Barrack Obama on his election win. This is the first time since the 1979 islamic revolution that an Iranian leader has made such positive remarks toward an American president elect which is quite remarkable.

While the task that faces Obama is quite formidable there is clearly an air of optimism for the future. We think that his election was a vote for democracy, honesty, common sense and decency. Well done Obama and well done America!
