Is Bobby the older kid or the younger one?
Bobby's the younger brother.
During the show's conception it was Jack who was supposed to turn out to be president, and the show was just called "Jack". However someone thought it would be interesting to see the brother who you didn't think would be president become it, so Bobby became the future president.
I don't think the revealing of any details lessens my enjoyment of watching the show. So I know that Bobby becomes president, this just makes me want to see how the events of his youth shape him to the be the man that eventually wins the presidency, the same would have been true for Jack. Regarding Jack dying, while it kind of puts a dampener at the end of the pilot, it doesn't really effect my viewing of the series. He's not going to die anytime soon and the show is about how Jack & Bobby's youth shape them into the men they become.
From the beginning I liked Jack more, and there were certain shots and situations that were presidential in nature, much more so than a young Bobby, who for the better part of the first half was just crying and wheezing. As the show somehow continued, Bobby got less annoying, Grace got more interesting and Jack stayed the same. I think the show should get back to centralizing on the McAllister's, because I like that stuff the most, and from the looks of spoilers for upcoming episodes that may happen.
