Evidently, Obama's pick of Doyle demonstrates that he isn't into making nice with Clinton (warning: graphic language):
The donor, speaking on background, said that everyone in Clinton circles knows the two have hard feelings towards one another and haven't spoken since Clinton removed Solis Doyle as campaign manager, and that Clinton loyalists view her with deep suspicion and believe that she is shopping around a book deal and acted as a background source for an extremely harsh Vanity Fair piece about Bill Clinton.Not surprising, Obama strikes me as someone who would hold a grudge.

"isn't he the one who hired the person that Clinton fired for the VP staff? Doesn't that strike you as suspicious?"
No, it doesn't Michele. It sounds quite politiclly savvy. Obama obviously recognizes talent when he sees it, Michele. You type this as though it is justification for your belief that Obama is "someone who would hold a grudge". I see nothing close to any proof in this addendum.
"You type this as though it is justification for your belief that Obama"
No, it was just an opinion. That's why I phrased it the way I did:
"Obama strikes me as someone who would hold a grudge."
If you can't substantiate it with facts and analysis, it isn't much of an opinion. It's more of a feeling. Or bias. Or a gratuitous drive-by insult. And without more justification it says more about the way you think (projecting maybe?) than about the way anyone else thinks.
Note that I am not suggesting that you're not entitled to express an opinion or even to call a feeling an opinion and parse your phrasing along the lines of "it depends what your definition of 'is' is." But if you can't back a conclusion like that up with some better basis than you have, you can expect your readers to develop their own opinions of your adding that comment to the post.
This whole blog is about my opinion. I've stated that over and over again. I'm not implying anything else.
not even informed. or educated. or backed up with fact.
