White House updates relationship with military to 'it's complicated'

WASHINGTON — President Obama updated the White House's relationship with the Military to “it’s complicated" on Facebook yesterday.

Citing differences of opinion with top military leaders, the president told reporters he wanted to "see other security advisers" but he wasn't prepared to completely sever his relationship with top military brass.

“I just feel like we’re growing apart,” President Obama told Duffel Blog. “I think we both know this has been building for awhile. We’ve had some good times. We’ve had some bad times. But with the election and stuff, I think it’s time we just take a step back and re-evaluate the relationship and our expectations of each other, while leaving the door open for the future.”
