For being in the public eye since 1992, people sure are completely ignorant of her positions. She's been against ANWR drilling both in the Senate and as First Lady. Yet she's going to be labeled a flipflopper on this without a flip.

Obama voted against ANWR too. Maybe if Hillary was President and Obama was the frontrunner, he'd be opposing her ANWR drilling.

Come on, now. Bill Clinton vetoed ANWR drilling bills passed by the Congress. This is one liberal issue where the Clintons have put their ass on the line.

There are some people who just won't be reasoned with.

Its pretty clear throughout the whole campaign that Bernie Sanders has dragged Hillary to the left, regardless of this issue. This isn't a surprise.

Except this is an issue that she already was on the left for.

So this is Bill Clinton's 3rd term? I was thought Hillary was supposed to be her own person.

Way to pivot.

Hillary voiced her opposition to ANWR as First Lady and Bill acted in that same position.  She voted against it multiple times as a Senator. She's always been against it.

I'm getting very confused too... whenever someone wants to bitch at Hillary, they bring up Bill's presidency, somewhat arrogantly assuming they always agreed (considering she was in no position to actively pursue an opposite course) on EVERY. POLICY. ISSUE. As King correctly points out, this is an issue where there has been overlap and agreement when she's been an active politician.

Obama voted against ANWR. So are you saying we can trust Hillary more than Obama?

What does this have to do with Obama?
