"Command of the obvious" is a sarcastic way of saying "everyone knows that, you dummy."
Sometimes, a person you know may say something that is very obvious. It may be so obvious, you may wonder why that person said it at all. On certain occasions, it may be because that person likes to impose his/her air of authority or superiority. When this occurs, you, as the listener, may not be very happy. You might say that the speaker has demonstrated an excellent "command of the obvious."
