Not only foreign policy, also economic policy. Isn't he going to usher Clinton's Rubinomics back?

My guess:  putting 'her' people on advisory boards was one of Clinton's demands for dropping her nominating campaign.  Obama has to give them office space and make them feel influential; he doesn't have to listen or take their advice.
