I am sure he can. He may have to promise to support the majority of Republican candidates in the next election, but no one will ever know if he does not, and, in fact, he may not have to do anything but ask for a Republican ballot when he goes to vote in the primaries. ( I do not know exactly how California does such things.)
Crossing over to vote in the opposition primary is a tactic used to win elections. If ones own party candidate faces no opposition, one can vote for the weakest candidate in the opposition primary. Unless some Democrat unexpectedly comes forward to challenge Obama, a lot of Democrats may decide to vote in the Republican primaries.

∙ 12y agoIllinois is a semi-open primary state which means you must vote in your registered party, but the state also allows a voter to change party affiliation on election day. Additionally, any time a public question is submitted to the voters in a primary, the question will appear on the party primary ballots; however, you may vote the public question without declaring a party affiliation by requesting a non-partisan ballot containing the question only.
