It's an interesting summation of your perspective, thanks. You depict Obama as one molecule in a sort of political Brownian motion, with me & the Times acting as a cherry-picking Maxwell's Demon.
A hard thesis to disprove, and I'll let it go from here. But I'll note that in contrast to the examples in your list (with the possible issue of no-bid contracting, I don't know about this), this tritium issue was local, raised by Obama's constituents. Also, "Exelon’s support for Mr. Obama far exceed[ed] its support for any other presidential candidate."

Which makes it, to my mind, a pretty silly thing to try to mine for insight. Any senator from any state would have had to react somehow to an incident like that.
