12 (6) (9) Hillary Clinton Angry — This was a bad move on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s part, but it makes for light-hearted interesting news day. A interpreter misquoted a student’s question. The student was asking about Obama’s policy but the interpreter said her husband’s policy and Hillary didn’t take that very well. There are tons of video and sites with the content up. So not sure how to spin it differently so get your content on the top for searches on this topic.
