This clip of a Hillary Clinton press conference in the Democratic Republic of Congo is video gold:
Apparently, though, the question itself was just a translator’s mistake:
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.
Regardless of the error, the notion of Secretary Clinton’s deference to her husband clearly touched a nerve with America’s top diplomat. Just a week ago the former President stole his wife’s thunder when he appeared in North Korea to rescue two American journalists detained there. His trip came just as Secretary Clinton embarked on a swing through Africa she hoped would shine light on the plight of the continent.
Still, imagine what the students thought when her response was translated back and they heard Clinton call President Obama her husband….
Frankly, I’m more fascinated by the way Hillary answered the question she thought had been asked.

It sounds like Hillary has some issues she needs to resolve with her husband.

The poor woman needs a rest. She looked totally worn out. Her schedule has been a killer, and then get hit with Bubba questions!
