Haysbert: Prez role on '24' may have helped Obama

Can't link to AP articles, but you can find it on Yahoo News.

Haysbert is missing one key point: His portrayal of the President on 24 was a solid conservative, more like Colin Powell than Barack Obama. People saw him as a leader, not a talker.

His current role on The Unit is similar. No one would mistake Jonas "Snake Doc" Blane for an American apologist.

...a solid conservative, more like Colin Powell...

You're joking, right?

[Mr. Brightside]

What are the new rules?

We cannot even post a LINK to an AP article?

He did push Health Care pretty hard though saying it was good for America. But I don’t watch 24 for political coverage.

Well, I’m not going to play their games. I’m going to ban AP from FR. If you want to report on something they publish you can always say, “According to the Associated Press, blah, blah, blah,” without using their titles or any actual quotes. Critiquing or reporting on published articles still falls within commonly accepted fair use standards. AP can shove their liberal propaganda and their censorship attempts where the sun don’t shine.

I stretched it a bit. I should have paraphrased the title. Admin Mod's, if you see this, please do so.

Why are we not allowed to link to AP articles anymore? I never got the memo.

Nonsense. Dennis didn’t help Barry get the nomination. Jobu did. Everybody knows that.

Time for bed. In a quick scan of the headline, I read Dennis Hastert. LOL

Just to be annoying annoying annoying. :)

[pbear8]

The dreaded triple post.

Just for that we are not going to send you the next memo either.

If this is true, it would appear that if B. Hussein Obama isn’t elected, he can always sell car insurance? Kewl!

[Mr. Brightside]

I understand no titles, and no quotes.

But is there a rule of no link?

[PugetSoundSoldier]

HERETIC!

The Obamassiah needs no help. He was ORDAINED to be the Savior Of The World™ from the beginning of time.

Come unto me, little children, and I will give you reparations and nationalized healthcare and welfare and freedom from the Evils of Big Oil, for I promise Hope and Change.

Well, as bad as Sherrie Palmer was, I would much rather have her as First Lady than Michelle. Sherrie was very selfish, but she didn’t hate her country.

&*@# %$^ Jobu! I’ll do it myself!

[Lancey Howard]

People saw him as a leader, not a talker.

Absolutely correct.
Gotta love Dennis Haysbert, but I don't think anybody who is familiar with his character, President David Palmer, would confuse that character with the oily, namby-pamby sleazeball, B. Hussein Obama.

I’ve been a musician for more than 25 years of my life. I have had the (dis)pleasure of dealing with folks in the entertainment industry more than anyone should have to. Entertainers (they are not artists) live in a fantasy world. They tend to be extremely insecure and self-important (me included!). Sir, as an actor, your influence on the real world is minimal at best....
