US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has delivered a message to the world: It's not all about Bill. Skip related content
During a question session at a university meeting in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Clinton's temper flared when one student asked for her husband's opinion.
She said: "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?
"If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channelling my husband."
The question was left unanswered as the moderator of the event quickly moved on.
Clinton's husband, Bill, recently travelled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists who had been sentenced to 12 years hard labour in the country.
State Department officials said the student approached the Secretary after the meeting and told her he had meant to ask what Obama, not Bill Clinton, thought about the matter.
Poor Hilary.
Ah well, at least it was a mistake.

Hilary reacted badly. It's really not good to be miffed at something like that.

The translation was faulty, and even if it wasn't, there are cultural factors to think about. If it was an American asking her that, I might understand the outburst more, but it's never good to lose your cool if you're a politician.

Yeah, it was an insulting and stupid question if taken at face value and it's insulting and stupid if the guy really did mean Obama.
She's the damn secretary of state.

Obama is not her husband. Maybe that student needs to fucking learn better Engrish or return to his small 3rd world country where we all will continue to ignore his dumb ass.

I don't blame her. Regardless of how much time has passed and how much she's done as Secretary of state, people still ask her about whether or not she wants to run for President and about her husband. Even so, she isn't the H.B.I.C.; she needs to relax herself and realize that she's working for the greater good of a team and the U.S.
