>Since Obama was so quick to say the "Surge" would not work, and many here echoed that sentiment, don't you think it's time to admit that Obama is an idot, or maybe even just "wrong!"<g>

Wrong, that he was. An idiot? Only in the historical meaning of the word: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/idiot "Idiots were seen as having bad judgment in public and political matters". The politicians and the majority of voters in Cook and Shelby counties seem to provide the ideal example of this definition.
