It's not even about pulling the strings, although it certainly could be like that. But if Obama has the confidence his stuff wouldn't be undone, then he can enjoy the post-presidential glow that Clinton has experienced (and that Bush Jr will never get) as the soul of the party, or its Elder Statesman, and continue to influence things in a more general way. For a long time. If a Clinton wins, his future could take a whole other trajectory that isn't nearly as appealing.
Obama as an ex-president is almost as dreadful a thought as a sitting pres.
