Yes. Congress did appoint the first commander in chief, calling Washington to take hands-on command of the continental army. Precious few of the following forty-three presidents have been qualified or willing to contribute to winning wars. The "present" president has now been rightly called the "extricator" in chief. Most fools, cowards, and ordinary sluggards could order others to get us out of the messes they create. We need leaders who say what they mean, mean what they say, and know what they're talking about. Where, oh where, and my God, when?
