Hillary Clinton became visibly angry at a press conference at a university in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday, when she was asked by a student what her husband Bill Clinton thinks about Chinese financial contracts with Congo.

“You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?” Hillary snapped, “My husband is not the secretary of state, I am.”

It turns out the question may have gotten lost in translation. The student approached Clinton afterward and apologized, saying he had meant to ask what President Obama thought about the issue.

The secretary of state is in Africa to draw attention to the plight of women who are victims of rape as weapons of war.

Hillary Clinton Secretary of State – It’s Official!

Hillary Rodham Clinton will join President-elect Barack Obama’s national security team as Secretary of State.

Democratic officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Obama will name the New York senator as his Secretary of State at a press conference in Chicago on Monday.

Obama also plans to announce that Defense Secretary Robert Gates will remain in his job for a year or more and that retired Marine General James M. Jones will serve as national security adviser.

Bill Clinton cleared the way for his wife to take the job by agreeing to disclose the names of every contributor to his foundation since its inception in 1997. He’ll also refuse donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Global Initiative, his annual charitable conference, and will cease holding CGI meetings overseas.

Former President Clinton’s business deals and global charitable endeavors were expected to create problems for Hillary’s nomination. But in negotiations with the Obama transition team, the former president agreed to several measures designed to bring transparency to his post-presidential work.

Here is the full text of the internal guidance about the agreement.

Critics have pointed out that the President-elect’s team doesn’t represent the change he promised on the campaign trail, with all of his top choices having served in either the Clinton or Bush administration.

Fr. Michael Pfleger Mocks Hillary Clinton

The latest assault on Hillary Clinton by guest speaker Fr. Michael Pfleger at Barack Obama’s Chicago church was apparently the last straw. Obama has decided to leave Trinity United Church of Christ because he no longer wants to be tied to remarks made from that pulpit. He phoned his Democratic opponent to apologize for the remarks and then drafted his resignation letter to Trinity.

He has opted to try to distance himself by completely severing ties. That is not likely to end the controversy. The Republican party will undoubtedly raise questions about his 20 year association with a church that was known for it’s controversial sermons by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the retired minister who married the Obama’s, baptized their children and the man they considered a spiritual adviser until recently.
