Prime Minister Question Time—In The U.S.A.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

President's Question Time would be entertaining and informative to watch. The trouble is: POTUS is not the Chief Legislator of the country, like the Prime Minister, he is the separate-but-equal Chief Executive.

When they take the oath, I want my President to stop being a Democrat or Republican, and just be MY President.

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.

Well, maybe it will cause them to raise their game a little. I'm not sure "Question Time" would work in the US though, the Prime Minister (Blair not withstanding) is not a presidential entity.
