"False Hope" and the Art Biz

It's sad to see art organizations holding their noses and endorsing Hillary Clinton for president. None of the people I've seen trust her or believe in her. But their funding situation is dismal, and they're afraid they'll lose what little they're already getting if they don't throw her weight behind her campaign. The accusation frequently leveled at Barack Obama—that he's peddling false hope—is weightless balanced against Hillary Clinton's malleability in the hands of her corporate fans and contributors. She's no more art-friendly than our current president.
