I think he did because like I said....somewhere along the line I saw a preview where Sutherland referred to him as "Mr. President". So nit-picking when he "was a Senator" misses the point I think.

It's not nit-picking at all. A preview where Sutherland called him "Mr President" would have been something like two actual years after you said you stopped watching because you thought he was President. So just the slight chance that he might be President is your stated reason for not watching anymore.
You could just as easily have said "I stopped watching for no reason" and not gotten any crap. Next time do that.
BTW, had you kept watching, you also would have seen something else happen to the man more in keeping with what you appear to believe.

Yeah, it was kind of creepy because when we were watching the first season once the plot unfolded, it was announced that Obama was getting secret service protection for "unspecified reasons".

So you'd be cool with a black republican candidate? ;)

"Arrested Development" is another example (along with SG-1 & B5) of where the writers at least got to tie up a whole bunch of stuff nicely when they thought they wouldn't get another chance. :applaud:

Tobias, you can't *do* that.
Why not, they're my shares!
No, I mean you can't spoon me like that.

Heh, I guess someone did mention arrested development. I should of looked harder for someone referencing it since it was too good of a show for someone not to of mentioned it.

I actually implied through what I said that I stopped watching because of the Hollywood Liberal tendency for the producers to interject their political agendas through the plot lines of their series. We saw the same thing with "The West Wing" where they, not surprising chose to have the Democrat Sanchez win in the finale. It's the same thing where they had the black guy in "24" as the virtuous Democrat. It's that sort of liberal pandering that makes me roll my eyes, not the fact that he was black per se. I mean, it would've been refreshing to have a black Colin Powell type character win the Presidency as a Republican an save our nation from terrorists...but alas, the Hollywood liberals would never put forth such a notion. Some of these programs have become propaganda venues for the Democratic Party/
Boston Legal is yet another good example of what I am talking about. Denny Crane is the psychopathic Republican wacko and Alan Shore is the virtous level headed liberal trying to help Denny with his non-existent humanitanity. ::)

You missed a good show for a reason that never bore fruit then, for the record-Palmer never became some Hollywood-esk liberal during the show, the way he was portrayed throughout the show, he likely would have gotten along as well with Alan Shore as he would have with Denny. Really, he was a lot closer to your Colin Powell ideal than anything else, something you missed out on by giving up on the show entirely too quickly-he didn't even become a central character until later seasons, he was little more than a bit part during season one-most of the CTU staff had far more screen time than he did. For most fans of the show, David Palmer is a beloved character, and that's because of his strength during the various crisis portrayed on the show, his political leanings were never really mentioned, that I can remember.
