Hey guys,

This is a little bit unrelated but I thought you might find it interesting.  In the wake of the election I was contacted by an elated citizen of Tunisia via skype to congratulate me on Barack Obama’s victory.  Let me preface by saying that 99% of the people who randomly start chatting with me on Skype are spammers.  Accordingly I was a bit terse with FEYDA on the outset.

FEYDA

Amazing stuff.  It really hit home for me that everyone around the world is watching, and it seems that we may be on the right track to repairing the American image around the world.

Good Luck to you FEYDA!
