From apple's point of view, what's not to love about this situation?

A great deal. By allowing this extraordinary use of its ad, its logo, and the clip of the female athlete Apple puts itself in the position of being subject to serious retaliation by the Clinton forces, both in the form of potential individual boycotts and, far worse, the retaliatory denial of government contracts if, God forbid, the Witch should be elected President. It also potentially exposes itself to FEC charges if the Witch's operatives accuse it of making an in kind contribution to the Obama campaign.

That's a real stretch. Just because they choose not to prosecute an unauthorized use of their material, when they have chosen not to prosecute broadcast of the same material for years on youtube, they made a contribution to Obama? Hardly extraordinary, there are tons of these kinds of mashups floating around on youtube.

Your logic is extremely tortured. The only way it would make sense would be if they did stop equivalent mashups against obama, which they have not (some are already floating around).

I confidently predict none of what you claim will occur.

Not everything is a conspiracy.
