How is Obama going to gain the confidence of foreign governments when anything they say to Obama can end up on the front page of the New York Times? There's no longer any confidentiality.

Whether or not you agree or disagree with the leaks is irrelevant. The fact remains that this is by far the largest leak of sensitive and classified information in our nations history. It's the Administration's responsibility to safeguard such information

How is Obama going to respond to charges that he's soft on security when such a large leak of classified information happened under his watch? He can't.

The Republicans have a pretty effective talking point going forward and there's really no way to respond.

So for those of you celebrating the WikiLeaks story, you need to look at the implications and realize that Obama has become even weaker because of it.
