If he calls in the Guard, does it become a Federal issue by jurisdiction? Does that allow the Obama administration to become involved? Just curious how that works.

No. The State Guard reports to the governor. It can be federalized, but its first line of command is the state.

Commander in Chief of the Guard is the Governor. They’d have to be federalized before O could get involved.
