Defeating Yemen

You probably never would have guessed it, but apparently beating terrorists who try to bomb us on planes is... a test for Obama:

Sunday's best: Obama facing a test with al-Qaeda in Yemen

Good morning from The Oval. And Happy New (Political) Year.

President Obama returns from his Hawaii vacation Monday, right into the still-brewing political storm over the near-bombing of a passenger plane on Christmas Day -- and its connection to the troubled nation of Yemen.

Hours after the U.S. and Great Britain closed their embassies in Yemen -- where it is believed that al Qaeda operatives planned the 12/25 attack -- Obama counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan made the rounds of Sunday morning talk shows. [...]

As a side note, I'd like to thank Harvey for highlighting this little side project! It's not so much "dead" as it is "neglected." I'll do my best to keep finding new tests to share with you, all of which are unprecedented.

No President has ever had to deal with tough issues like terrorism and war before, don'tcha know.
