If he was pro-caliphate he wouldn't have been trying to force out Morsi for the past year or so. The rise of IS in Iraq is due to Morsi.

Nah. Obama initially hedged his bets on the Muslim Brotherhood. They were, literally, his guests of honor at his 2009 intro to the world Cairo speech.
Now, he'll take what he can get.

Someone with better knowledge on this matter can certainly correct my following comment if it is wrong.
I seem to remember that all of the leaders in power during the Arab Spring were pretty secular and kept the Muslim Fundamentalists in check. Obama verbally encouraged and supported the overthrow of these individuals in the name of democracy but by doing so it also opened the doors for the fundamentalists to seize control.
