O must be paranoid. Imagine him calling Dems "obessed" because they want him to keep his promises... +++++ huffingtonpost.com Afghanistan Withdrawal: Lawmakers Rebuke Obama For Calling Focus On It An 'Obsession' First Posted: 07- 1-10 11:24 AM \| Updated: 07- 1-10 12:41 PM With the war on Afghanistan thrust momentarily back into the political spotlight, a host of anti-war Democratic lawmakers are expressing their frustration with the Obama White House in more direct terms than usual. On Wednesday, two of those Democrats -- Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Chellie Pingree (D-ME) -- pushed back against the president's complaint that the July 2011 deadline for the beginning of troop withdrawals has become an "obsession" among lawmakers. "With respect to the president, it is not that we are obsessed we are just deeply concerned," said McGovern. "I mean more and more of our men and women are dying in Afghanistan and with each passing day we read about the setbacks." "That article in Rolling Stone, in my opinion, was troublesome not just because of General McChrystal's inappropriate comments [for which he was forced to resign]... but the comments from McChrystral and other senior military advisers that they have no intention of drawing down in July 2011, that there might be a second surge."
