Obama lost CA only because he was relatively unknown in February; polls now show him much more popular among CA Democratic voters than Hillary. The real folks who shot themselves in the foot are those residing in Michigan and Florida; had they obeyed the rules, they might well have voted for Hillary in February (when, again, Obama was relatively unknown and untested), and provided her with much-needed early victories.
