Unfortunately, the best that Obama can do (or any president) will be to not recognize the election results and treat shorty as a non-entity.
That's a fantastic link HOZ, some great stories in there. I had been following developments on the Tehran Bureau, but it seems they've been hacked and shut down. I agree, protests only get you so far. I can imagine scenarios where this ends well, but I'm pretty pessimistic that they will.
