Apparently the translation that got her riled was inaccurate and once that was straightened out, she and the questioner shook hands and all was diplomatically smoothed.
The translator’s mistake was to ask Hillary Clinton what she thought her husband, President Clinton, thought about something or other, when the student actually asked what President Obama thought.
Hillary was riled, I saw the clip. She said something to the effect she wasn’t there to channel her husband’s thoughts.
I thought it was sort of funny and I understood why the U.S. Secretary of State wouldn’t appreciate being asked what her husband thought about something.
I thought it was pretty funny as well. She has to understand that Bill is still an ex 2 term president. Bill loves the limelight, so he probably had to try really hard to wipe the smile off his face for the photographer.
I have a serious question though. Would the US have negotiated with NK if it were two young tourists that weren’t employees of Al Gore or if the media hadn’t talked much about them being held captive….If it were one of our daughters? I would hope so, and am glad to see them home.

Don’t think he liked the fact that he was forced to be in those photos in order to bring the young ladies home.

Sometimes a guy’s gotta do what a guy’s gotta do to save those two journalists. Nobody died during this endeavor.
