Not that I know anything about him. But I always distrust "experts" who are obviously disgorging political talking points.

I suspect Obama's not getting alot of sleep these days. With everything he knows, and with his tremendous powers of understanding and information synthesis, he's probably turning over dozens of next move options, none of which he's happy about.
