Obama still has a lot of tools in his bag, but between the Cuba/NK/Iran comment and now this, the chances of him picking up any independents whose main issue is national defense is just about zero now.
Agreed. While national defense isn't my main issue and Obama wasn't my favorite Democrat (that's been bouncing between Biden and Richardson for some time now), he's managed to eliminate any possibility that I'd vote for him in either the primary or the general election, especially after his response to the criticism he received on this.
