Clinton Snaps At Student After Question About Bill
The secretary of state bristled Monday when — as she heard it — a Congolese university student asked what her husband thought about an international financial matter.
She hadn't traveled to Africa to talk about her husband the ex-president. But even there, she couldn't escape his outsized shadow.
She abruptly reclaimed the stage for herself. "My husband is not secretary of state, I am," she snapped. "I am not going to be channeling my husband."
Now, there's some question with regards to the translation - it appears that the interpreter may have gotten "Bill Clinton" when the student asked about Barack 0bama. Nonetheless, I'm torn on Secretary of State Clinton's response.
On the one hand, she's got a legitimate beef: She is the Secretary of State for the United States, and should not be expected to act as a conduit for her husband the former president. In light of Bill Clinton's recent trip to North Korea - where he was ostensibly acting as the Sec. State - one can certainly understand why she might bristle at the question.
On the flip side, though, is the question of her response. There's a video in the linked article; you can watch her response to the question. She is visibly angry; it's obvious that this has touched a very raw nerve with her. When traveling to countries where women's contributions are valued less than men's - especially given her husband's stratospherically high profile - she should have conducted herself more professionally here.
In any case, it's always good for a round of righteous schadenfreude to see one's political enemies stumble and fall...
That is all.

Most certainly entertaining, I LIKE seeing Mrs. Bill Clinton hacked off and ruffled.
Does the soul good :)
The Clintons have gone from a massively powerful political force to sideshow entertainment.
The only scary downside is that a BIGGER, meaner political machine has taken their place...
I dunno I'm 100% behind her. Maybe the guy stumbled on his English, but still she had a right to be pissed.
Total lack of professionalism there...
When I saw this, the first thing I thought of was the Hitler rant that so many people have recaptioned on you tube. Was nothing happening in Liechtenstein that needed my immediate attention that they had to send me to this fucking hell hole?!!
