Of events, and a period of time, Hillary Clinton's change in attitude comes only when it is politically expedient.

When did she first come out against the XL Pipeline? Why right before a major election, when it was pretty much writing on the wall that the republicans would have the upper hand in Congress, and they could continue her State Department's original push for it.

When did she come out against the TPP? When it pretty much was known that it is going to get passed anyway!

While your change in attitude was an honest one, many of us suspect Ms Clinton of being political expedient and totally unhindered by such notions as honesty or doing what is right.
