Obama's frequent regrets may make us sorry

By Luke Boggs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Barack Obama just may be the most regretful figure in American politics, no small feat for a freshman senator.

On Wednesday, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he regretted allowing his young daughters to participate in a family TV interview with "Access Hollywood."
