Can We Just Elect Him President?

So I go to the link below that brother DeDurkheim posted to the Buzzflash article of Barack Obama by Roland Martin, and find Martin commits the same mistake as so many journalists by casting this as an election for Commander in Chief.

Roland Martin: If you are elected what is the very first thing that you focus on as Commander in Chief of this country?

Barack Obama: Well, we will call in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I will give them a new assignment and that is to bring our troops home in a careful, responsible way, but to end this occupation in Iraq. I will call in my Secretary of State and initiate the diplomacy that's needed to make sure that exit is accompanied by negotiations between the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.

Really, isn't it enough to elect him or any one of the candidates President?
