Comment of the day:

Reader Philhoey on The Bigger Picture:

I remember flying over the Wall in the summer of 1970 when landing at Temphof. Later, I walked up as close to the wall as sanity permitted in those days. Somehow, I feel Mr. Obama has led a very sheltered life and has no understanding of what really went on during that period of time. There is an old saying that, 'What you do speaks so loudly, that I cannot hear a word you are saying." If the current Government in Washington continues on for the next three years as they have for the first year, then Jimmy Carter will no longer be on the bottom rung of the worst US Presidents.

What to watch for:

• Firstly, Happy Veterans Day.

• Iran will execute a Kurdish political prisoner.

• France-Germany ties fade.

• Anita Dunn is stepping down as White House Communications Chief.

• Good news: Googie will offer free airport Wifi.

• The U.S Assistant Secretary of State has told the media recently that a U.S delegation is North Korea bound sometime in the near future.

• Placebo power and faith have some impact on cures.

• According to this survey, 5% of Americans polled said they were planning to buy a house, and the location would most likely be in the south or the west.

• Game of the week: Patriots vs. Colts

• Terrorism can be kitschy, according to Daniel Williams of the New York Times.

• NATO hopes to boost training teams in Afghanistan.

• Pres. Obama will consider different options for Afghanistan.
