I don't have a problem with this. When you are a high-profile person and you go out in public and take a political stand, you're bound to catch a ton of sh!t from about 50% of your potential customers.

See "Dixie Chicks" as Exhibit A on this one.

There’s a bit of a difference between supporting your candidate at a private event and publicly mocking the other guy, who happens to be the President our our nation in a time of war, in a petty, rude way, in a foreign country no less, don’t you think?

It has been reported for years, and I believe it to be true, that Michael Jordan, a known democrat, refused to do any political ads, endorsements, apperances, etc.. and when asked why he said "republicans by sneakers too."

“See “Dixie Chicks” as Exhibit A on this one.”

You cannot possibly compare what the Dixie Chicks said about our Commander in Chief during wartime in another country to Hassleback giving the President a jersey, can you?
