Thank you all for your advice. I've decided to pursue the opportunity, and if it comes about, great, and if it doesn't then I won't exactly be crushed. For what it's worth, my original plan was to ask a long time friend who is a West Point grad, Ranger and combat vet to do the honors. He thinks that I should pursue the possibility of Obama commissioning me also.
After reading the replies, I thought I should add that Obama did not offer, or notify me that he would commission me, so I wouldn't be making any type of statement. Apparently I have some ridiculously well connected family members who told me they can make it happen. For all I know though, the President may have plans to be in another country or something on my commissioning date.
Thanks again.
