A 'real' New Year's Day for President Obama

From today's NY Times:

1. Christmas Day terror attempt may stop Guantanamo closing
2. Man appointed by Pres Obama to lead investigation into what went wrong in case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had to be granted an ethics waiver.
3. Federal judge dismisses charges against 5 Blackwater security guards

More reality for the President.
