I love Laura, the woman, but don't really like Laura, the president.

I'm sooo there with you. In fact, that's the crux of my problem. It's like she has two separate personas and I can't reconcile one with the other.

I don't know that I agree with your assessment of that scene. It didn't feel like Tory was actively working against her. And while I understand Roslin's unhappiness with Tory's comment about carcasses, the rest of her set-down was uncalled for.
