Clintonites Miffed by Obama Hire
Patti Solis Doyle was once one of Hillary Clinton's closest advisers, but after the senator's presidential ambitions took a nose dive, Doyle was essentially fired and reportedly no longer speaks to her longtime friend.

Although she devoted her adult life to working for Clinton, Solis Doyle left the Clinton world surrounded by a cloud of acrimony, blamed by some close Clinton loyalists — and reportedly Clinton herself — for failing to keep the campaign in order heading into Iowa. After being yanked from her role, Solis Doyle had said she would travel with the campaign and remain on as an adviser, but Clinton effectively cut her off and she was not seen on the road again.
