Wouldn't that be Life Imitating Art?
Beg your pardon, Life Imitates Art. I'll ask in the forum.

Gonna say no due to Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement, unless you can cite a source. And yes, see the forum.

1. How is saying David Palmer paving the way for Barack Obama going to upset people?
2. Take a look at the forum, added some interesting links there.

...You really don't think the implication that the only reason Barack Obama is president is because he shares a racial background with a TV character is remotely offensive? That, and you're asserting this to be the sole and/or most visible reason for his election.
I'm sorry, if that is how it came out then I apologize. What I was trying to say is that some, including Dennis Heysbert who played the character, view David Palmer and his positive portrayal as one of the reasons history was made and voters were more comfortable with a African as President. Not the sole reason by any stretch of the imagination but 24 was sort of an endorsement.

I will note that similar assertions are already on the Barack Obama page.
Would I be allowed to add this to 24?
