In short, it is his job to lead the military to fight the Mexican Drug Cartels that littlerally are controlling parts of the the State of Arizona.
Federal Government =/= President.
Federal Government = All 3 Branches
What this means is that ALL 3 branches must agree that they should move armed forces into Arizona to "stop" Mexican Drug Cartels. And seeing Congress how it is now, I say it's probably not feasible to do that, now.
Like Takebacker said, it's not Obama's job (although, since he is a branch, it's partly his job).
