Hillary Clinton: I’m secretary of state, not Bill

Washington, August 11: Hillary Clinton has a message for the world: It’s not all about Bill.

The secretary of state bristled last night when — as she heard it — a Congolese university student asked what her husband thought about an international financial matter.

She hadn’t travelled to Africa to talk about her husband the ex-president. But even there, she couldn’t escape his outsized shadow.

She abruptly reclaimed the stage for herself.

“My husband is not secretary of state, I am,” she snapped. “I am not going to be channeling my husband.”
