Here are a few stories that might be of interest to our viewers:
Obama’s frequent regrets may make us sorry…

Controversy precedes Obama Germany visit
That possible affront to a German head of state, said a Democratic official familiar with the Obama campaign’s deliberations on his visit, made it unlikely Obama would choose the Brandenburg Gate location.
