“The Biggest F*** You” Ever Seen in Politics
By selecting Patti Solis Doyle as his chief of staff to the campaign’s eventual VP nominee, Obama is giving Hillary the finger. 
Barack Obama’s selection of Patti Solis Doyle as chief of staff to the campaign’s eventual vice presidential nominee is, according to a former Hillary Clinton fundraiser, the “biggest fuck you I have ever seen in politics.”
The reason is that Doyle and Clinton haven’t spoken with each other since the latter fired the former. As such, Obama’s choice can quite safely be considered a ‘f you’ towards Hillary Clinton. Although this may be interpreted as a sign that Obama is his own man, I have to say that I can sympathize more with the ‘why in the world does he do this‘ perspective.
Whether Obama and his top supporters like it or not, he needs the Clintons, and especially their supporters. If Obama thinks he can win this thing without them, he’s sorely mistaken. No, he has to put his words about unity into action; first unite the party, then try to ‘unite’ the country.
