I dont think anyone who didnt have a strong and charismatic personality and a good amount of street smartness and political guile could become the president.

You could make an argument that there have been some US Presidents that don't meet your criteria.

 

Id like to see a realistic president for once

 

What exactly is a "realistic" president?

Wayne Palmer is too tall, thin and young to look presidential. He looks more like a basketball star.

While I don't particularly like Wayne's character as President in this show, it's because he doesn't fit with the way the rest of the show "works", to me. Not brash, bold, risk-taking, oozing of moral self-confidence, that sort of thing. In brief...he's boring.

It's not like David Palmer was short, stubby and old, y'know.

David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) is a freaking giant!

My problem with Wayne Palmer isn't how he looks as president, but the way he delivers speeches and addresses the cabinet.

I was pleased to see James Cromwell guest starring the last couple episodes. Put a little spark in an otherwise 'typical' 24 season. I love that man.

After weeks of mediocrity, I was pleased they finally got rid of one annoying character last episode.

That and ... I think I finally can see Rick Shcroder as something other than the "silver spoon" tot.
