Because we have no statements of Kenobi displaying that sort of TK doesn't equal him being unable to do so. Moreover, the manner in which Vader absolutely ragdolled him doesn't bode too well for his superior Force abilities. Not that Kenobi is any better, but Kota's showings really don't support him as being superior either. And saber skills? Not really a contest there.

While this is technically true, we can't exactly assume the opposite is the case. Kota was a full-fledged Jedi Master capable of holding his own against Starkiller, deflecting Force lightning and using telekinesis to damage a space station.
In contrast, Obi-Wan at this stage is a Jedi Knight whose Force abilities are pretty much without accolade.

If we indulge in superficial thinking, I'd be inclined to agree. But while neither of us is as smart as, say, a certain German poster, we're not exactly stupid. That Vader was able to ragdoll Kota simply indicates that Vader is much more powerful than the general; do you have any reason to believe that Obi-Wan would fare better against Vader's command of the Force?

Kota was able to hold his own against a supremely ticked off Starkiller. Obi-Wan's sole achievement at this stage is his uncanny ability to get owned casually by the great Count Dooku. Even if we disregard this, the disparity in their rank, experience, and displays of power would indicate that Kota is Obi-Wan's firm superior.
