CBS News gets a shot at asking the President of the United States a question -- one question -- with the nation watching, and Chip Reid uses it to ask what Arlen Specter's party change says about the state of the Republican Party.

It's in a shambles. Who cares? That's really the most important thing you could think of to ask the President?

UPDATE: Ok, CBS got more than one question. Reid's was still a waste of time, though.

UPDATE 2: At least Reid didn't ask Obama what surprises and enchants Obama about being President. That's a good question for a People magazine profile, I suppose, but it seems like the New York Times could come up with something better...
