Perhaps we have a wrong assumed emphysis here.
I have no problem calling this my country, or my wife my wife, but I assume no claim no ownership of either.
“This is my country” is a popular line in patriotic music.

I understand your point, but in context of the article it may well be otherwise. In your context, the word "my" is used proudly. In the article, the word "my" isn't used in context of country but in context of those who he's appointed; those who work under him. As Krauthammer points out, it is an unusual use of the word, and with Obama's narcissism, may well point toward ownership.
