"Commander in Chief"

From the Constitution of the United States:

Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments

"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;"
========================================
I am sick and tired of the "talking heads" referring to the President as "Commander in Chief of the United States". Have they never read the Constitution? They make the President sound like a dictator. Wake up and learn! Many people who don't know better believe what they hear on tv/radio, so it's incumbent on commentators to speak accurately and truthfully.
