It's Frak in this mini-series
The Cylons don't have any obvious redeeming qualities but humans are plenty flawed for folks that have colonized 12 planets under one government.
The Cylons feel compelled to destroy us due to our penchant for vengance. Not like they annihilated all but 50,000 of our species. Oh wait, that's is what they did.
No spoilers on who the Madam President resembles in most ways.
