How can a man like Obama be Commander and Chief of America's military.?

Why not just give it to Ben Laudin?

Update:

This is not a racial issue. Please, no ignorant racial answers.

Update 2:

Thanks, Terry, for your attempt at helping me but there is no universally accepted standard in the West for transliterating Arabic words and names into English, bin Laden's name is transliterated in many ways. The version often used by most English-language mass media is Osama bin Laden. Notice, for your reference that bin is not capitalized in any account. Now, if you are through with your tirade about my careless spelling habits, please just answer the question.

    He can't. The only way he is going to win this election is by playing the American people and promising things that he will never be able to deliver on. If he is elected the libs that voted for him will be very disappointed to find that he is not the be all end all savior they think he is.

    McCain 08

    Well it'll be interesting if he becomes president I'm not sure if he will or not personally I'm still not sure who to vote for probably McCain even thought i voted for Obama in the primary for Texas. Obama would be a change for sure but would it be a good one? that is the question isn't it? well I'm not sure really who to vote for right now like i said probably McCain only because I'm joining the army I leave next Wednesday and i think McCain would be a better choice at least Military wise but we'll just have to see how everything will work out now wont we? :)

    If he were to get elected the county will basically run itself despite him. He has the classic liberalist views. He is naive enough to belief that Bin or Ben (IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER) actually would be open to using diplomatic methods in handling the world's problems. He is TERRIFYING! But remember, IF, he'll simply be moved aside and told in private to sit down and shut up by the powers that be. He would be and is just a puppet. Oh, and the first time I saw Obama on OPRAH, I liked him, and then I looked up his voting record and thought----oh no!

    It's sad that people who can't even spell Bin Laden are allowed to vote in the first place.

    Heck - if a cocaine snorting war dodger like Bush can do it - then anyone can.

    P.s. If terrorists get most of their money from the oil industry (they certainly don't get it from tourism, and the governments that fund them ain't rich from inventing the microprocessor) and Bush has been the biggest pro oil president - then I guess indirectly Bush has been the biggest supporter of terrorists.

    The main thing you need to really worry about right now is attempting to think outside your southern Republican bias. The second thing you need to work on is your spelling, or at least how to use Google.

    It's "Bin Laden." His name has been in the media for almost 7 years now. You should know how to spell it correctly.

    ---------

    I see you learned how to use Google. Well done!

    Although you also need to learn proper titles of American governmental leaders. It's "Commander-in-Chief," not "Commander and Chief."

    I dont like Obama much he is to liberal for me socially but he is very good when it comes to foreign diplomacy. He wants to open up more communication to prevent unnecessary violence.

    The hope is that Obama will try to work with other countries instead of just invading them, and there will be less need to command America's military at all.
