I have to admit, I'm pretty happy with the first day. A big move towards FOIA, more transparency in gov't, reigning in lobbyists, and big rumblings about closing gitmo.

Not bad, not bad at all.

It was reported today:

"News of Guantanamo's closure welcomed worldwide
By FRANK JORDANS – 1 hour ago
GENEVA (AP) — Former detainees, human-rights advocates and government officials around the world welcomed President Barack Obama's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center, saying Thursday it helped restore their faith in the United States.
The U.N.'s torture investigator, Manfred Nowak, said news that Obama will order the prison closed, review military trials of terror suspects and end harsh interrogations was a sign of goodwill by the new American administration."
