Hillary Clinton berates student after question misunderstanding

The translator could be tired as well.

But you only give that excuse to people you like, apparently.

J_Jammer, :)

Or perhaps the local police took him into a back room and showed him the error of his ways. This is a good example of the ignorance displayed by U.S.politicians when coming to Africa. Hillary threw a hissy fit and then walked away scot free, never considering that this student may be beaten within an inch of his life for embarassing the Congo Government. She needs clip on her tongue and a boot up the ass to remind her of the results of her loss of temper. Anyone with training as a facilitator or negotiator knows that you always repeat the question posed to you, just to buy time and ensure that you completely understand the question. She completely failed and needs to go back for more training. This incident displays her arrogance toward the "little people". A childish display of temper, not acceptable in her position.

Moon, so very well put!

It sounds like a female version of 'small man' syndrome.

Kylsport, really? Are you trying to justify your own "manliness" by demeaning a woman?

"Larry" as I suggested on another posting. You really need to get out more often. "Hillary" is about as hot as a popsicle up a polar bear's ass.

Your just mad cus I said it first ! :p

Yeh, I guess you are right! Two fifths of Jack and she would be at least, "luke warm".

Honestly, she looked pretty good in the last interview that I saw. She is ageing better than Bill. Of course that should be expected, as Bill is married to her.

After my own heart.

The U.S. owes nothing to The Congo or any other nation. They can all stand on their own two feet or admit that they are incapable of being a sovereign nation. However, if they are sovereign nation, our Secretary of Sate should treat their citizens with respect.

LOL. This PMS bit should get you a bit of attention. What took you so long? :P

Sorry, I could not resist. Plus, I thought that it would generate a series of attacks on my nature, manhood, intelligence, education, emotional stability, and general humanity. Beside the fact that I have been married twice and had a number of professional (Not hookers) girlfriends. So have some experience with "Hillary's". Again my respect, to Bill for his ordeal!

I'm sure you just have to get a couple of personal attacks, at the very least, unless we're having an off-night... Professional girlfriends? Care to elaborate? Perhaps it will incite a bit more anger... Worth a try, right? Good luck! :)

"xiola", that made me laugh. It would take an entire new topic and would probably ban me for life on current. The last time I suggested hormone therapy to my wife she divorced me for lack of emotional support, $500,000 down the drain. Five years later , I asked her how she was feeling and she said, "I am feeling great, I got on hormone replacement therapy". Do you wonder why I am a cynic?

Well, we certainly don't want you banned for life. And you're definitely right about the complexities of male/female relationships. Hell, female/female relationships too... (I don't have any experience with male/male relationships, so I can't comment on them.) Human relationships. That sums it up, I suppose. It makes me sad, honestly, that you had to deal with such unhappiness and confusion. That just sucks. That hormone therapy bit must have been quite a kick in the head. Something tells me, though, that living with you may not always be easy... :) Now, go on out there and ruffle some feathers!

You make a good point. I guess it did make us look kind of bad... I get snippy sometimes, but that's why I'll never be SOS :) You have to be able to control yourself, even when you want to bite someone's head off.

Excuses, excuses, excuses....

I know what you mean. I just put myself in her shoes. She looks really tired. She's been running from place to place for a while now. I'd probably be a bit worse for wear myself. I mean (before anyone jumps on me) I'm not saying I love the lady or anything, and, for that student, it was probably kind of devastating and embarassing. But, you know, it's not THAT big a deal, is it? Maybe it is...

And it's also about the fact that was in Congo where women are treated like a piece of crap. I understand why Hillary got upset right there. It would have been a sexist question and I have no doubt her reaction had as much to do with the male animals over there as with with the regular -- and often undeserved hoopla -- over her husband.

If she can not handle the heat she should get out of the kitchen.

This is only the first year and if she is already irritated...how will she be reacting three years from now?

She is holding a high post and represents our country. Instead she acted as some angry wife. Now what was her purpose on this trip to Africa? Exactly...I don't think anyone cares now.

Yeah, for sure! She had this look on her face for a second like "if you were standing right here, I'd slap you!" Funny

If only she had been as playful as silly indicates.

Hi J
I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY !!!

Alex

And what's wrong with that "Mr. I have strong feelings"? The pot calls the kettle black. Once you can eliminate all your useless emotions your opinion about Hillary's emotions will have credibility.

I said nothing about emotions.

I was speaking about her snapping like an angry woman.

Somehow I never heard that Hillary lived in "Bill Clinton's shadow" until after Hillary started to run for president. Just like I didn't hear that Gore lived in "Bill Clinton's shadow" until after he started to run for president.

I can see a little oversizing as far as Bill Clinton's supposed shadow is concerned. Next time someone will tell me I'm also in his shadow and I'd better realize how small I am compared to the aawwwwsome Bill Clinton even though I never had anything to do with guy.

Hillary is her own girl. Has been since age 20 at least. Just like Gore is his own man and has been since 1976 at least. Could we stop this Bill's shadow nonsense finally? Noone is in there.

Oh star, come out of the shadow, and into the light. If you can't hear the obvious anger coming from Hillary, and cannot determine the source of it....Then you are living in a shadow of denial.

Let's not pretend that Hillary is some emotionless creature who has not been affected by all the past situations which not only allowed her to reach the political status she has come to now, but has led to her greatest embarassment!

I think it's time for you to post your own articles that you deem worthy to be news and that way you'll be satisfied....because how could you ever disappoint yourself?

It's sort of news-ish, I think. Not the least news-ish thing I've seen in news :) It was news to me...

I think it s time for some to allow people to express their views without the need to jump on them. I don't think it's news. My opinion. Don't like it pass it up.

I'm pretty sure that wasn't directed at me, but I just wanted you to know, JanforGore, that I, for one, was not jumping on you! I love your posts and always respect what you have to say. I was just replying honestly. You certainly have a right to reply as you see fit. In fact, I quite dislike the way people tend to get angry, rude, just plain mean, any chance they get. I think it inhibits people's honesty. Sometimes I'll want to express an honest opinion on one of these posts, but I hold back. I don't feel like fighting or warding off personal attacks. You do a great job of keeping me informed on here, so keep up the good work! :)

Don't express what you don't want to be judged for.

If you can't handle someone telling you you're wrong then don't sit there and tell someone they are sharing something that's not news.

It is, after all, subjective and if you, above anyone else, cannot realize that....then maybe you're far too sensitive to be posting here.

J_Jammer, if I could recommend your post several times, I would right now. :)

Xiola: No, my response was not directed at you. Thanks.

I wasn't wrong, I was sharing an opinion. Who knew three little words with a question mark could arouse such ire. And I will state my opinion again so you are clear on it. I do not think this is news.

And I will state what I already said about your opinion:

Don't express what you don't want to be judged for.

If you can't handle someone telling you you're wrong then don't sit there and tell someone they are sharing something that's not news.

It is, after all, subjective and if you, above anyone else, cannot realize that....then maybe you're far too sensitive to be posting here.

----------------

Who knew someone who shares their opinion so bluntly would be so offended by another opinion.

Hey, JanforGore, I knew it wasn't directed at me, but I still figured you could use some kind words coming your way. Have a great day :)

Nice.....

I'm not offended. I'm actually amused you think this is so important. And I don't post ANYTHING here or anywhere else that I'm not fully willing and ready to defend. I'm simply noting my observation in how petty some others here are. Again, I don't care what MSNBC, FOX, CNN, YAHOO, or any other BS MSM outlet has to say. To ME this is not news. Now, unless you have a real comprehension problem, I think and hope the point is clear.

And I said you were wrong.

Apparently that was too muddled for you.

It looks like you can't handle someone having a strong opinion like you on a matter. Typical.

Not every submitted piece on Current must be deemed news worthy. If your rhetoric question is aimed towards the actual news networks broadcasting the story then i completely agree.

Nah...everything isn't newsworthy.

But manners would be nice. If one does not think something is newsworthy the best thing they can do is not reply and if they do reply not get upset if someone tells them they are sure the hell wrong.

If you don't think something is newsworthy not clicking and not reading it would be akin to that line of thinking as well as voting it down.

Voicing an opinion on that matter has no real reason to exist outside of being obnoxious for the hell of it. It isn't positive and sure the hell isn't helpful.

Should have been. And if you are relieved by having an unqualified, inexperienced "community organizer" in the White House, you're really not paying attention, are you.

Obama is our president so get over it! Hillary would have made an ok president but the PEOPLE obviously didn't think so. And we all know that if HIllary was president, Billy boy would have been calling the shots from behind the scenes, which wouldn't have been a bad thing.

But regardless, Obama is our president and I am glad I voted for him.

And as for this article goes, Hillary should have just swallowed her emotions and answered politely, "Well, I can't speak for my husband, however, I can tell you what I think..." She just made herself look like the bitch she is, always trying to prove herself. She doesn't have to prove herself, she is where she is because of her hard work and we all know that. You have our respect already Hillary!

It was an extremely close race between Obama and Hillary, so "the people" didn't necessarily think one was better than the other.

Obama is president because Florida violated the Primary Election rules. Had Florida gone along and voted when they were supposed to, Hillary would've been ahead of Obama for the entire race and never lost her momentum.

The race could've gone either way (and Florida has messed up 2 elections now!!).

Yeah cause the stupid ass we got now is so much better

Still bitter guys? get over it

Yeah, looks like someone had already ticked her off before that question was mistranslated...

I am glad that there are people on this forum that have never blown up on people for the wrong reason(s) by the way.

It's not you, it's the Obama loving media not being able to stand Bill getting better press than the Messiah.

Just a lil bit. :) Very perceptive! LOL

So am I.

I applaud your mum's ambition but is she qualified?

Look who's in the White House now, since when do we need qualifications.

As did I, and I gave to her campaign.

My thoughts exactly, JohnA.

@richjim: Do you really think Obama and Palin are more qualified than Hillary? LOL!

"Randy", ask for a refund. Then purchase a sense of humor.
