Kinshasha (Congo), Aug.11 (ANI): U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost her cool on Monday when a student asked her what Bill Clinton thought about the growing influence of China on the continent.

Hillary Clinton, who is currently traveling in seven African countries, seemed initially perplexed when a student asked her the question during a meeting with the Congolese youth in Kinshasa.

Clinton angrily replied:

"Wait, you want to know what my husband thinks? My husband is not the secretary of state - I am. You ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to channel my husband." (ANI)
