He apologized later, recognizing he pissed her off. It was a poorly thought out question that perhaps, PERHAPS was innocent. He could have been trying to be an asshole, I don't know.
I simply recognize that Bill Clinton is very popular in many countries in Africa.
What *is* intentional as far as I'm concerned is the disgusting media drooling over her response. What we have here, is the Western media trying to embarrass an uppity women. The whole 'translation' error bullshit. "He was only asking about Obama" doesn't seem to be very accurate. Even so, Secretary Clinton isn't responsible for translation errors. Here she is talking about horrid crimes against women, and our lovely media wants to turn it into a tabloid pissing contest between her and her husband.
But the most disgusting thing about it all is if she hadn't responded the way she had, her Congo trip would have gotten far less attention. It would seem that many, many people want to speculated on tabloid bullshit and ignore the appalling Congo record of violence against women. And then try to sound self righteous about it. Totally pisses me off.
I don't know why I expect different from the rape culture I and all women live in though.
