Hillary Clinton outburst at a student at a forum in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, because the student asked her for Bill Clinton's views. Hillary Clinton snapped at the student, asserting that she was different from Bill Clinton and did not represent former President Clinton's views.
The snap was a rare angry moment for Hillary Clinton who normally answers questions with composure and has actively tried to differentiate herself from her husband.Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, a Hillary Clinton angry video has been circulating throughout the web and TV stations.
"What does Mr Clinton think about it?" he said to the befuddlement of the crowd.
Clinton replied in a forceful voice: "You want to know what my husband thinks?
"My husband is not the secretary of state, I am. You ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to channel my husband."

My understanding via Candy Crowley of CNN is that The interpreter got the question wrong and meant to say, Obama, but said President Clinton instead. Either way it is a difficult position for SOTUS to be in. I am sure she feels badly once she found out about the mistake. At the same time. Sec Clinton is getting some duty assignments that could be for lower officials at the state Department while her Husband comes back a hero from N. Korea. I have a feeling that they are keeping her out of the main stream. She is being under utilized

Great article. Even members of the elite are human and can lose their temper.

This was an unfortunate incident for Hillary Clinton. I can understand her sensitivity, since her presidential campaign was defined by Bill Clinton's accomplishments. To boot the super delegates abandoned her efforts even though she won the majority of primaries in the last half year of the campaign.
She is definitely underutilized. I am not sure if that is her choice. She also hasn't come out strong on any of Obama's agenda. She obviously hasn't given up her presidential aspirations.
Could the stand off approach be deliberate?
