They're not very far apart politically, but Obama ran primarily on vague rhetoric, whereas Clinton has never been afraid to talk policy. I appreciated her frank "lobbyists are people too" during the 2008 campaign; she seems a lot more honest about such things, whether you like her positions or not. She's not great. But she departs from the Obama administration in a number of important, positive ways.
