That's the problem. With cameras there will be nothing but sugar coated answers. Without cameras, we have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Maybe if it became an institution, but it doesn't appear to have worked like that this time. The Republicans appear to have tried to ask tough questions, and Obama flat-out called some of them liars (in the nicest possible way). This seems to me to be the least sugar-coated face-to-face exchange I've seen in American politics.

If their had been a regular "Presidents Question Time' like process then it's probaby unlikely the previous encumbant would have run for office, which IMHO would have been a good thing.
