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 not channeling Bill Clinton, I am the Secretary of State.”
If she was channeling Bill she would probably be hearing a lot more then she wanted to.
Can You imgine what is seething in that Ice Berg of a Soul that is Hildabeast! She Hates taking Orders from OBOZO and believes She was Cheated Out of the Prsidency by the Incompitent Moron that is OBOZO HUSSEIN!
Maybe it’s that time of the month? /j
State Department officials said the student approached Clinton afterward and told her he had meant to ask what Obama, not Bill Clinton, thought about the Chinese loan. It was unclear whether the French-speaking student or translator had erred.
Since his presidency, Bill Clinton has spoken out about international financial and development aid to poor countries, one focus of his foundation's Clinton Global Initiative, making his opinion of interest abroad. But the stage in Kinshasa was his wife's, and she reacted instantly to a suggestion that he shared it.
She had been sidelined for weeks after she fell on her way to the White House in June and fractured her elbow, requiring surgery. Her aides acknowledged her frustrations stemming from the injury, which made her miss out on going to Russia with Obama and attending several European conferences.
But her aides and those in the White House have denied any rift or attempt to marginalize her.
Hillary print that out in triplicate for my signature and then take that BS trip to Africa. See ya would not want to be ya.
This is what happens when people who don’t know how to run a country try to run a country. We are in deep shinola.
She is a no-talent harpy who ONLY got to where she is today politically and professionally because she was married to Bubba.
I think Clinton going to NK a week after NK had said such things about his wife, appears to show that she couldn’t handle it and he had to take over.
Sets the feminist movement back a bit!
She was. Bwaaaahahahahahahahaa a (cough) ha sheee ... it.
It would be even funnier if 0bama wasn't Pres_ent.

OUCH! that’s gotta hurt.
“She pulled the earphones out of her ears and said “I’m not channeling Bill Clinton, I am the Secretary of State.””
And she’s so well respected that Kim Jong invited her to North Korea, but Bill got to the phone first and said he’d do it.

Too old.
““”I’m not channeling Bill Clinton, I am the Secretary of State.””
It’s true. If she were channeling Bill she’d never leave Huma alone.
