I didn't have any problems with the new president, but then again, I've only seen it once. Can't wait until next week so I can get the dvd. But remember, she was like 52nd in line of succession, or something like that. She wasn't even praying for a chance to be the leader, until it was thrust on her. Plus, she was a teacher, IIRC. Also, with everything else, we find out she has a terminal disease (from the way she was acting, I think it was probably cancer). So she's not exactly a great statesperson. But if the new show is anything like the old show, it will be Adama calling the shots anyway. I think she'll just be more of a hindrance until they actually find Earth.
