You said — Why doesn’t he pray that Obama will simply turn to God. PERIOD ?

The one goes with the other, because it’s up to Obama (or anyone else, personally) to decide for themselves, whether they will accept God’s grace and salvation, through Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, according to the Scriptures from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
And if they don’t (and *especially* with someone in Obama’s position, who affects an entire nation and millions of people and even the nation of Israel, itself) — then it should be a prayer for God to *take them out of this world* to keep their evil from continually being perpetrated among millions in this world.
