VIDEO: Hillary snaps on student
--------------------
KINSHASA, Congo -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's temper flared on Monday when a Congolese university student asked her for her husband's thinking on an international financial matter.
A week after former President Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists and stole the limelight from the start of his wife's first trip to Africa, Clinton was clearly displeased by the question at town hall forum in Kinshasa.
You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo.
"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."
The question was left unanswered as the moderator of the event quickly moved on.
I'm still amazed she took the Sec. State position to begin with. She must've known Obama would do everything he could to limit her power and eliminate her prospects as a future political opponent.
Hillary is falling apart. She sounded like a drunk with an attitude. There's something wrong with her.
sw
Thats true but she could have been effective for or against zero if she stayed in the senate. She chose this path.
Exactly! Her JOB is to be diplomatic!
She isn’t.
That was some Jabba the Hutt moment for Hillary!
Bad hair day and a bad attitude.
How ridiculous is her reaction? Are these our states people?
Is there any doubt that these are bitter, arrogant self serving narcissists? From what I have heard, the question about her husband was a translation mistake. It is very telling that she is so quick to be offended. Is this the best we have to represent our great Republic? Why is she throwing a fit while acting in a diplomatic capacity? Wouldn’t a good answer have been, “ I don’t know what my husband thinks”. Oh and what happened to Vince Foster...Just curious.
She really need a beer or new boyfriend maybe Looter guy is available LOL!
I figured she’d be steamed about this.
Immature, ill-equipped...and those are her good points.
What a rude Witch
In fairness to Hillary (Ugh I cannot believe I am saying that), I’d be p*ssed too if I were Sec. of State and my husband was sent on a mission to “rescue” hostages from a hostile country.
Hill’s RANT de jour. Very funny. Hit a nerve.
We know the Hill parasited to Billy for her political gain many years ago AND she’s got all she can from their host-pathogen marriage (yes, old data).
Now her unfortunate security staff has given Hillary the new (secret) moniker “Hot Flash”. It’s their primary concern.
Looks like our Secretary of State hasn’t been missing any meals lately, based on that video. Jeez, the guy mispoke and got the witch’s broom stuffed down his throat.
Wow, one Marxist meltdown after another. If you don’t agree with them you’re a Nazi, hick or are insane. Typical Marxist elitism on display for all to see.
I wonder how the Africans think of her and her Marxist government now that she squashed the Congolese kid. Hillery certainly took diplomatic out of her diplomacy. And think this angry and ideologically stunted woman is respresenting America whereever she goes.
Wow, once again Hillary shows the world how to play poker. What a bluff artist she has turned out to be.
Sorry for the poor kid who asked the question, though. Did NOT deserve all that abuse.
And she handle the matter with such class.
Whoops, she's "married."
Woah! Stop the dim dems wary go round, and around, and around, the country also spewing chunks & crap all over the world!
They are making me sick & taking us for a bumpy;long ride, againt our good will.
Wake me when this nightmare laden adMin...ions of the dark side,vacate,instead of perpetually violate!
Til then, we are stuck with dem bastards like the o.af presently in office, & dem bitches like h clintoon!
Thanks for the ping :)
It was fun to blast the dems like that,LOL! :)
