This is actually a very interesting retort for several reasons:

1. We can be reasonably sure Barack Obama will not be running for President in 2016. Unless whoever the candidate is declares that they will do exactly what Obama would, should a voter take Obama's actions into account when judging them?
2. If a voter does something not in their own immediate self-interest, is that stupid?
3. Is deciding whom to vote for entirely on the basis of paying higher insurance premiums stupid? For instance, if the Demdidate does make the above declaration and the Repreplicant declares that they will do exactly what Hitler would, certainly you would agree the smart play is for the war criminal who is black on the basis of the John Cutter Doctrine: always bet on black.
