Open Thread: Hillary Clinton loses temper in the Congo with student

While talking to a group of students in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a student, with the help of a translator, asked what "Mr. Clinton" thought about a financial deal. As it turns out, the translator was supposed to ask what President Obama thought. Hillary took offense to the question.

In response, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set him straight by saying, "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not the Secretary of State, I am. I will you tell you my opinion, I'm not going to be channeling my husband."

Do you think she just had a bad day or is there underlying resentment towards Bill Clinton's 'unofficial' diplomatic role?

She was there, a major official, trying to campaign for rights for oppressed women in the Congo, and some guy asks what her husband thinks? No wonder she got mad.

It had nothing to do with Bill Clinton's diplomatic puttering, which all the ex-presidents do when they can.

What she was mad about was the apparent assumption that as a woman her opinion didn't count as much as her husband's.

I heard a few different reactions to this on the way home last night. Apparently the translator didn't *exactly* nail the syntax of the question correctly ("lost in translation"), and her reaction was to be expected with the context of the trip.

I dunno, just sounds like she had a bad day.

It was not Hilary Clinton's fault the question had lost in translation. Did she even had a clue, what the question really was? I think, if some one ask the question about what Mr. Clinton's opinion about something, then, yes she has the right to give that answer. I don't think, it was because she was having a bad day.
