When Joe Biden campaigned in Palm Beach County, Florida in September he was interviewed by one Damon Weaver, a remarkably poised and charming 5th grader. Weaver's news segment on Biden's visit is highly entertaining and worth checking out. Make sure to watch to the end, when Weaver pronounces Biden his "homeboy."

This kid takes his job seriously. I love how he makes sure to enunciate so thoroughly. lol
I wouldn't mind seeing a report or two from a kids perspective on CNN every now and then.
That was really sweet. I love Joe Biden...He and Barack are two straight up patriots and I trust them to steer this union back on the right path...
Great job Damon!!! Thanks for the report!
Very nice. Great job Damon & Amari. Great Job Mr Zimmerman, it's teachers like you who deserve CEO salaries.
i think i'd vote for damon weaver and the cameraman over mccain/pal
I am Damon Weaver's teacher for KEC TV at KEC/Canal Point Elementary in Palm Beach County, Florida. I am glad everyone is enjoying our report about Joe Biden. I have also brought Damon and Amari (cameraman) to rallies for Obama, Hillary Clinton, and McCain. I am teaching my students that as journalists they need to be neutral and provide equal coverage for all candidates. We have attended more Democrat events only because they campaign more in South Florida than the Republicans. The most recent event we attended was Obama's job summit in Lake Worth on October 21, 2008. After the summit when Obama was shaking his supporters' hands Damon asked him a question. Unfortunately my cameraman forget to press record on the camera. The same thing happend the day before the Obama event when we went to a Hillary Clinton event. When Damon asked Hillary a question he forget to turn on the microphone and the cameraman recorded the ground. I keep telling myself they are only fifth graders.
I heard on the news that Obama will be coming back to Florida this week. I am going to try and contact his press people and try to setup an interview with Obama and Damon. It can't hurt to try.

Thank you for your wonderful work. You are teaching the next generation of leaders. I already see our future Barack Obama in Damon. Congratulations!
Awww! They are too cute. Keep up the good work.
Mr. Zimmerman, Thank you for being a great teacher! Please tell Damon he has a fan in PA.
You must be so overjoyed at the work of these wonderful young boys. I hope they are inspired to do great things with seeing the fine examples of Sen. Obama & Sen. Biden.
That made my day, it really did. Those fellows are doing great!
Our future is bright...
Obama/Biden '08
Our future is little Damon Weaver!!! This election is for you, baby.
Give Damon a cabinet post!! Great job and very endearing especially when he (JB) put his hand Damon's shoulder. Wonderful job by a great young man!
Oh my, this was too cute. Little dems in the making.
Damon Weaver is MY homeboy!!!! He rocks.
Thank you for posting that video. It was wonderful to watch for so many reasons. It's great to see some positive news coverage. Leave it to the children to inspire us all.
Damon, great job!! Don't give up, the world of journalism could use a good guy.
I loved this. From Joe Biden talking about the sleepover, to the wonderful job Damon did in the interviews.
Just one more reason to have hope in my country.
With all the anger and vitriol flowing through the inter tubes these days, how refreshing to see a feel good moment like this.Lets get Obama elected and make sure that Damon gets to go to college one day.
ah, the media elite does it again.
