Hillary Clinton wants to wait until she wins the White House before taking a stand on the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.
At a town hall in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Clinton responded to a question from the audience asking if she would sign a bill approving the pipeline by saying that she would not "second guess" President Obama's decision. Should the issue still be alive in January 2017, however, then Clinton will say what her position is.
"If it's undecided when I become president, I will answer your question," Clinton said.
That answer is sure to rile environmentalists who have made opposition to the controversial pipeline that would ship oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast a political litmus test. Keystone has been under review at the State Department, a process that started under Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State, for more than five years and a final decision by the administration is still pending.
Clinton has repeatedly declined to take a stand on the pipeline. On Monday, she suggested that she was disqualified from weighing in on Keystone XL as the former Secretary of State after a reporter in Iowa asked if she would say what she thinks of the project now that she has officially declared a 2016 bid.

“If it’s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question.”
Just
Damn
she MAY...be crazier...than The Great Leader.

coward
Good!
We’ll never need to know!
Why bother with elections?
Seriously.
Not only do candidates routinely misrepresent their policies — now we’re expected to vote for candidates who flat out refuse to say what their policy is.
She thinks were all as stupid as the Media that loves her
Re: “You’ll just have to vote for me to see what I’ll do.”
Haven’t we done that already... twice?
Hillary! you have to elect her to find out her policies...
Sounds familiar eh.
Wow. This woman is a candidate for the Profiles In Courage award.
Really????? If a controversial issue is still out there when she is president, she will render an opinion then???
And some people consider hillary to be a strong leader???
Great leadership. She will let us know what she thinks only after we elect her. Sarcasm.
I wish I could really say what I think about this woman or how I would like her life to go but I can’t without being banned for life.
My Gawd, she IS an awful candidate, isn’t she?
That answer will satisfy NO ONE and will just keep it a hot button issue, front-and-center.
Her husband would have been smart enough to toss out an astute lie.
Precisely.
RE: Her husband would have been smart enough to toss out an astute lie.
Isn’t he advising her?
How about a stand now, so that people know where you stand before the election?
Just saying.
IMHO
After four years as Secretary of State in charge of analyzing the deal, why the mystery?
Anyone who still wants to vote for her is truly braindead.
I guess she’s still out there “listening” in between the heated meeting about how she’s gonna avoid an indictment for security violations as a government employee, huh?
Probably while sitting in those meetings as a vegetable being discussed about how she won’t appear, aged, barren, wooden and decrepitly debilitate from whatever she’s suffered as a result of sucking on the “fifth”......
She doesn’t seem to have this triangulation thing down as fluidly as Bill. That clumsy answer isn’t going to play with anyone except sychophantic Clintonoids.
