Yuck, didn't see it until now, but as a customer, it's enough to make me cancel.

Same here. Obama I particularly don't like. But even if they backed a candidate that I liked it would still give me a feeling that it's not a professional company.

If I absolutely needed it then, well, a need is a need, it has to be met. But when you're not sure if you need something small things like that get important and that is going to be most of their customers probably.

Each to his own. I don't like businesses that can be easily associated with a certain personality, views etc. (like Apple).

Really?

Yes, because I'm not an Obama fan, and the last thing I want to do is help him get elected. It's not that I want to go out of my way to cause trouble, but I do have my preferences.

It just doesn't feel right to me, and I can easily find a replacement.
