I'm disagreeing COMPLETELY with that.
The only thing different is there is a publicity photo of the President in a room with others monitoring the situation in this case.
Don't you understand that EVERY President did the exact same thing?
That photo was from the "Situation Room" in the WhiteHouse. Same room that Reagan monitored the situation and was in contact with his generals during Grenada and Panama. The same one that George H. Bush ordered the first Gulf war. Same room that Clinton used during his missile strikes in Eastern Europe and Iraq. Same one that George W. Bush used for his wars.
They ALL were personally involved and "partaking" (weird choice of words).
The President has always been the Commander In Chief.
If you think back on your history...Truman PERSONALLY pulled McArthur out of the Korean War because he felt that he was trying to make decisions without his consent.
You really think Obama is the first President who was personally involved in a war?
