DB Woodside, who plays President Wayne Palmer on 24, called the show's star Kiefer Sutherland "intense."
"Either you jump on the bus or the bus will roll over you," Woodside said of Sutherland in an interview with People Magazine, in its Feb. 26/dead tree edition. "I think it is very dangerous to be running around with his character."
Woodside also said he thinks comparisons between the fictional Wayne Palmer and the real-life presidential campaign of Illinois Senator Barack Obama are "unfair." Admitting that Wayne Palmer is untested and not very commanding, he told the magazine that Obama is just the opposite and is "the most exciting candidate to come on the scene in my lifetime."

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT compare Wayne Palmer to Obama. Wayne will go down as TV's political Fredo. I wouldn't even compare Obama to David Palmer. David was honorable and had conviction, yes, but remember, he was married to the diabolical Sherry.

So we know Obama's wife has no secret agenda? Oh calm down - it was a joke! :-)
