The poor Congo university student. Living in a country where he never knows from one moment to the next if he will be caught in the cross fire of rival rebels or systematically hunted down for his tribal back ground. So, he probably thought that attending a speech by Hillary Clinton would be a safe place to be. But, he was wrong.

He asked Hillary about the presidents view of world finance. Unfortunately, the translator misspoke and asked what president Clinton though of world finance. Hillary immediately had a major melt down and announced to the world that she was the Secretary of State and not Bill.

The poor student didn’t understand why his question upset her. Finally, Hillary, the translator and the student came to an understanding of the problem and all was resolved. Well, not quite.

Hillary needs to understand that she represents the United States and not Hillary Clinton. Her actions were totally undiplomatic and certainly not befitting the Secretary of State of the United States. What’s more, she has announced to the world that she has a personal weakness, a fault that will not go unnoticed by enemies of the US.

Six months on the job and already she is creating international incidents. Maybe she should go back to being a Senator. After all, they don’t have to be diplomatic.
