Obama's title, as President, is "Commander-in-Chief." He has authority over every branch, area, and rank of the military. So yes, he is, in other words, the ultimate commander for the US. Obviously, he gives a lot of authority to Defense Secretary Gates and his many military commanders within the different branches, but, technically, he is ultimately responsible for every single command given to the United States military.
