German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in town and the President is devoting a day and one half to wine, dine, and discuss foreign affairs with her.

The festivities began last night after three TV interviews with midwestern news agencies, Hearst DC Bureau, WEWS Cleveland and WDIV Detroit, where the President talked about the the auto industry resurgence.

Evening dinner was held at 1789 restaurant in upscale Georgetown. This morning, the Chancellor was officially welcomed at the White House. A series of bilateral meetings will be held this morning, followed by lunch with the Bidens and Secretary of State Clinton. While the afternoon schedule is not published, but we guess that everyone will rest and get ready for tonight's State Dinner which begins with a warm welcome at 6PM, official pictures, and a wonderful dinner. Both the President and Chancellor will offer toasts to each other.
