I think four colleges in five year is a lot too, but if you look at the kind of schools they were, I don't think it matters a lot.
You and Obama went to serious schools that are hard to get into and have a lot of prestige. There's a reason to stick it out even if you aren't super happy. If you're going to geographical state U and you aren't really feeling it, why stay?
Maybe I know an unusual number of college hoppers in terms of former students. It, in my experience, represents a lack of academic purpose almost always but not a character flaw. Some of us go through college because we're kind of interested in stuff and we want a job that requires a college degree, but at the age of 18-23, it's not quite laid out in front of us like stepping stones. I think that's okay.
(I only went to two colleges as an undergraduate. But I might have gone to others had I not liked the second one.)

If you're talking about someone applying for a job at a regular company, it's a red flag, but maybe not a fatal flaw.
If you're talking about someone running to be one of the 1-2 most powerful people in the country, then I think it's a much bigger problem. Plus, I think there's a huge difference between transferring from your original school and transferring a number of times, no matter the schools involved.
