There is a bit of Obama that is often cold or distanced (may be better word) which smacks of his maybe inward view of "keep your hands clean...and don't reveal anything that could affect your career or your wife and children after you leave the Oval Office." Just do what you have to do...making sure you "do what your military/political advisers prescribe...keep nose clean and you will do well afterwards." Can't blame him for that...given what he walked into.

This is such a curious imagination, to me, of Obama's inner life.
I don't want to suggest it is some kind of projection on your part,
but that's usually what's going on.

If I were to imagine his inner thoughts it would be a completely
different tale; however, it would most likely be similar to my
own thinking, or my projectile imaginings -- not necessarily even
within a million miles of reality.
