If I believed in shorting stocks, I would short Apple. For a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the one you mentioned.
Earth to Apple: No one in the Obamadork administration has the IQ to become a janitor at your establishment....let alone an engineer. Admitting inferior government critters to your building will cause harm...they are cancer, slime, pollution, and sh*t rolled into one smelly, stinky Obamalike ball.
Please do not slime yourselves by having one of their low IQ underachieving lib arts majors pollute your technical environment.
How is this a change in culture for a company that has Al Gore on the board?
Apple is no more lefty than Microsoft. Perhaps even less so, when one looks at what Bill Gates does with his money.
That said, when anyone from the Obama administration suggests anything...ANYTHING...I am immediately inclined to do the EXACT opposite.
I see this as pandering. The only thing that makes me feel that I am not soiling myself by using Apple products is that Rush Limbaugh uses them.
My wife just came in and made a comment about an article she saw about making a Ben and Jerry’s float using Sam Adams beer.
Apart from the complete disgusting concept, seems like a desecration of Sam Adams beer by mixing Ben and Jerry’s into it.
Bah.
