Yep.

Hillary Clinton keeps coy on Keystone
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/hillary-clinton-keystone-pipeline-no-comment-107899.html

In an interview with the Globe and Mail , a Canadian publication, the former secretary of state and possible 2016 Democratic frontrunner declined to give her personal opinion about whether America should proceed with the pipeline.

“I can’t respond,” she said.

She has so far avoided wading too deep into the issue, which is a controversial one even among Democrats as the progressive base vehemently opposes the pipeline, while others in the party and beyond see it as a good way to grow jobs.

Speaking more broadly about the pipeline issue, Clinton said, “This particular decision is a very difficult one because there are so many factors at play.

“I can’t really comment at great length because I had responsibility for it and it’s been passed on and it wouldn’t be appropriate, but I hope that Canadians appreciate that the United States government – the Obama administration – is trying to get it right,” she continued. “And getting it right doesn’t mean you will agree or disagree with the decision, but that it will be one based on the best available evidence and all of the complex local, state, federal, interlocking laws and concerns.”

Well, on the bright side, she’s not nearly as good of a politician as her husband so we can watch her dance around on this issue and flub responses for the next year or so.

That was some “answer”. I’m beginning to sense a real trend of “what difference does it make?” in this privileged witch’s thinking.

I really think she sees every inconvenient problem as just a bother to her.
