It is a good idea to choose the person carefully. Think of it like choosing a lawyer or a doctor.

The thing is, it doesn't have to be Obama. It could be almost any Democrat, like the Clintons, Biden, Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelosi. They all agree on 99.9% of issues, because they have a common set of values.

Theoretically, that sounds reasonable, but in reality, they tend to agree on issues due to political alliance, not values. Politicians in both the Republican and Democratic parties have almost unanimously been on both sides of issues depending on who put it forward/who was in power.
