The overall trope this draws from is generally known as the “chessmaster”. However, I realize that’s far more superlative than most QRV fans would care to attribute to Obama. Offered for your further considerations nonetheless.

I get your point, its spot on but not very "catchy" and we don't want to give him credit for being smart, which he isn't. I'm still betting Valerie Jarrett is the chessmaster and Obama is just a puppet with her hand up his ass.

‘Puppetmaster’ perhaps sounds a bit less competent. There are also myriad of criminal org types of leaders, like ‘kinpin’ and ‘capo’, along with other various crime bosses and gang lords. It’s tough to find a term that describes someone who pulls the strings, yet is also not seen as impressive in doing so.
