Yeah, considering Obama dumps his pants at the word "nuke."

all i know is 24 has sucked for a long while.

and obama is a lightweight, hes no palmer.

 

[ultimatebob]

I'm not a fan of this comparison, considering what happened to ex-president Palmer in season 5.

Besides... any TV president would look like a badass with Jack Bauer backing him up

Puh-lease, we all know President Lindberg from The Fifth Element is the one that paved the way!

I'll bet more Americans watch 24 than catch up on the current political issues.

I bet you're right, and that is a sad thing indeed.

Word.

You gotta love President Camacho tho . . . Sh*t. I know sh*t's bad right now, with all that starving bullsh*t, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

Morgan Freeman and others have been playing black presidents for years. Unfortunately, I see them all as actors including Obama, meaning I can't see them truly leading a country.

The Earth was hit by an Asteroid named after Elijah Wood under Freeman's watch. Is that a risk we can take with Obama?

In other news Methuselah claims to have pathed the way for McCain to become President

 

[Queasy]

Ok, got another one..

If true, perhaps this also means that Geena Davis' show Command In Chief showed that America was not ready for Hillary as President since it was canceled before it even finished its first season. :laugh:

Not enough voters have seen 24 to affect it that way.

Why is this so unbelievable to you armchair pundits? People don't vote based on logic, they vote based on feeling, and a black president on TV week in, week out obviously makes the idea more acceptable to many Americans.


What next, you idiots will say that the religious revival didn't make a creationist nutcase like Huckabee or Ron Paul more palatable?

I found the 57 states remix! I don't know why but this made me laugh until I cried! :laugh:
Obama 57 States
Probably just another case of oldsmobats law though.

Indeed. The closest I've come to seeing 24 was a Simpsons episode that parodied it.

Wait a second - which authority said having a black president on a tv show actually "made it more acceptable to many Americans"? I'm sure some people had a problem with that too.

I guess this explains why Rupert Murdoch said he's voting for Obama.

 

[manly]

David Palmer was a credible POTUS, but Wayne Palmer sure wasn't.

Oh shit! :Q

 

[JS80]

Obama would have thrown Bauer in jail and would be "talking" to the terrorists.

 

[StageLeft]

Haha now that is really stretching.

The U.S. was nuked under Palmer.

Also, Palmer was shot in the throat by a sniper.

Let's hope things go better under Obama.
