Another Bit of MSM Bias - Notice How Obama's Correct Calls Are Attributed To Luck?

[Median Democrat]

One thing that is becoming increasingly apparent is the MSM's continued refusal to give Obama credit for his correct calls. For example:

Most recently, when the Iraqis echoed his calls for a timetable for withdrawal, the MSM has chalked it up to "luck." However, is it really luck that a nation seeking its soveriegnty would want to have a definite timeline for the withdrawal of foreign troops? If the U.S. was invaded and occupied, would it be lucky to guess that the American people would want a definite timeline for the withdrawal of foreign troops? Yet, the MSM does not credit Obama for making an obvious call that the GOP refuses to acknowledge.

Likewise, the MSM credits "luck" for the increasing violence in Afganistan matching Obama's position that the war in Iraq has diverted the U.S.'s attention from this area. Luck? Again, Obama makes a call that many Democrats have made, yet rather than giving credit for the correct call, the MSM chalks it up to luck as though it is not foreseeable that taking troops from Afganistan and putting them in Iraq would lead to a deterioration in Afganistan.

Finally, this was noted by another DUer, but McCain himself noted in 2001 that the U.S. should finish the job in Afganistan before even considering military action in Iraq. So, who is exercising common sense and who is being idealogical?

This is not a matter of luck. This is a matter of the Obama and the Democrats making the common sense call.

1. Whatever. Next your going to be telling us that Einstein didn't get lucky with relativity.

We know he was just scribbling symbols on paper when he looked down and saw his general relativity drawn out. Crazy liberals. ;)

2. True - Alexander Fleming Isn't Great - He Was Just Sloppy

Allowing mold to grow in his petry dishes, then BOOM he discovers penicillin, and people call him a great scientist. The lucky slob. ;)

7. even Keith used those words and it pisses me off. there may be some so-called luck in the timing of

his trip and Maliki's remarks, but the words "intelligence," "foresight," "insight," "genius," "balanced" and "diplomatic" among others, have been absent. It pisses me off.
