I think Obama does love America; he just has a funny way of showing it. Some people see love as a partnership: “I love you, so I want to support you and reassure you and help you achieve all your goals.”
But there’s also the type of person who sees love as a project: “You’re a total mess, but because I love you, I’m going to make you lose 20 pounds and get rid of those awful clothes and find you some new friends to hang out with and tell you what to read and improve your taste in wine and get that squeaky sound in your car fixed and maybe get you off your butt a little bit on weekends, darling.”
Obama’s love for America is of the second type.
