The Secretary Of State … decorum please

Yes she is tired. 9 African countries in 11 days. The woman who would be President though show here frustration when she’s asked a question about her husband Bill. Talk about lighting a fuse.

As it turns out … the question was mistraslated, or so we are told.

The only problem? Apparently the translator made a mistake and the student had wanted to know what President Obama thought of the deal. A State Department official tells ABC News the student went up to Clinton after the event and told her he was misquoted. No immediate word yet how Clinton responded.

The questioner meant to ask what does the president … meaning Obama … think. I don’t know if I buy that … but for the chief diplomat, not a good performance.

    Methinks Mrs. Clinton has some deep seated issues and resentments, and should have been professional enough to sidestep that mistranslation, or at minimum, display some (dare I say it?) diplomacy?
