Yes he does. Obama threatened Assad repeatedly in public as part of his role as commander in chief.
Examining how people would handle Obama acting as Commander in Chief on Twitter is a great way to determine whether they're against threats by military leaders or simply against Trump.

No, he didn't. Aside from anything else, the “Commander in Chief” role is solely commanding the military under the laws prescribed by Congress. Public diplomatic threats (even threats that, were they carried through, would involve acting in the C-in-C role) are not part of that role.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should heed U.S. warnings to neither use nor move chemical or biological weapons, lest he risk crossing a "red line" and provoke a U.S. military response, President Barack Obama said Monday.
