Why should Obama care about Israel's security if doing so gets in the way of his fantasy foreign policy? I would not get too worked up about who sits where. Obama will turn a deaf ear to anyone whom he doesn't want to listen too, no matter what his formal position. He will listen to those he wants to, whether they are in formal positions like the NSC or are just people he knows from the good old days in Chicago. This is what happens with economic policy in most administrations and this is what will happen with Obama's foreign policy too.
