Hillary Clinton has come out in opposition to drilling for oil and natural gas in the Arctic:
The Arctic is a unique treasure. Given what we know, it's not worth the risk of drilling. -H

Yet she left out one crucial detail in her tweet. This puts her at odds with … wait for it … President Obama and his approval of more drilling in the Arctic:

Although in typical Hillary fashion, we’re really not sure what she’s referring to:
This is *huge* if she's indeed referring to #Arctic offshore (not simply #ANWR) https://t.co/Ip4xAhdhN2

Or maybe she means to put a stop to all drilling?
As with everything Clinton, the details matter and this looks like just another pander to her liberal base.
