Hillary Clinton loses her temper in Congo

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has delivered a message to the world: It's not all about Bill. During a question session at a university meeting in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Clinton's temper flared when one student asked for her husband's opinion. She said: "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channelling my husband." The question was left unanswered as the moderator of the event quickly moved on. Clinton's husband, Bill, recently travelled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists who had been sentenced to 12 years hard labour in the country. State Department officials said the student approached the Secretary after the meeting and told her he had meant to ask what Obama, not Bill Clinton, thought about the matter.
