24: President Palmer may have paved way for Barack Obama?

I wasn't aware there was a black president in 24.

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

Let's hope things go better under Obama.

:laugh:

Fictional Characters could have an effect, but how much is very debatable.

Bah, it's Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact that paved the way for an Obama presidency.

Wonder if both of their storylines will end the same way...

What, you mean with random events occurring that make almost no sense and include constant changes of allegiances and random new bad guys every single hour? Or are you referring to idiot daughters having to hide out in seemingly chilly cabins with wifebeaters on?

No, I think he means when Palmer gets assassinated...

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.

What are you talking about?

Sure Skoorb.. I'm sure it's stretching to say that 24 and shows like it make torture more palatable to the public is stretching too right? Give me a break. We are a culture that watches TV an average of 4 hours a day. You're trivializing its impact just because it *appears* wacky and zany to talk about the impact of TV on the public's psychology.

I think you mean..

Tommy 'Tiny' Lister ... President Lindberg (as Tommy 'Tiny' Lister Jr.)

or as I will always remember him... "Deebo".
