This event was a political stunt that backfired on the Repub caucus; it's as if they "dared" Mr. O to show up to prove his claimed desire to be bipartisan. Show up he did, and showed them much more respect than they showed him. And gave excellent answers to meandering, politically-charged so-called questions. They're gonna regret having filmed that event. They did not come off well.
Perhaps it'd be good to have the VP do question time seeing as he's President of the Senate. It would make the picking of a VP far more important because he would then represent the President's agenda in the Senate. Though I'd actually prefer a question time to happen in the House of Representatives due to the quantity of legistlators there as well as that's usually the realm of the up and coming politicians instead of some of those crusty old guys that are waiting to die in the Senate.
