Ten-Year Old Reporter Seeking Obama Interview

Hey, everybody! You all remember Damon Weaver? He's the ten-year old kid from Kathryn E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary in Florida who interviewed then-Senator Joe Biden during the campaign, heroically holding his microphone aloft as Biden yammered on and on, without stop, for a million hours. Anyway, Weaver charmed the internets with his poise and polish, and now, he's looking for bigger fish to fry -- namely, President-elect Barack Obama.

Weaver wants to snare Obama for an interview, and in a wonderful four minute spot, he lays out his case, discussing his school's news studio ("Where the magic happens!"), getting a testimonial from Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat*, and, more importantly, his reading teacher. Plus, he's not afraid to dig up the gotcha video of Obama's bowling failure! Weaver also points out how he comes from a part of Florida where sugar cane is grown, setting up some very probing, substantive questions on free trade and protectionism.

In short, THIS INTERVIEW MUST HAPPEN, AMERICA.

*It should be noted that Dwyane Wade's support for Weaver does not extend to letting Obama beat him in a game of one-on-one. It's all good, though -- Weaver still makes Wade an honorary homeboy. Besides, letting Obama win basketball games is Reggie Love's job.

Childish nonsense

[SPQR1052]

You sir are without hope.

[Totto]

Bah! Humbug!

[rageagainstmachine]

Wow. My sympathies dude. You live in a dark world.

[echota]

We all should be a little more nonsensical and childish. Maybe then all of America wouldn't be on anti-depressants and xanax.

[yankee452]

I'm suprised you're not used to "childish'' antics by now after the last eight years....


By the way that little fella with the mic...

he is in fact a child.


Tw_t !!

omg i heart damon weaver! please barack let him interview you, surely his homeboy joe can hook that up. damon should try writing michelle a letter, she'll get him to do it for sure. i hope he has a great time in DC, and gets a moment to meet barack & perhaps even play a little one on one with the president.

[westreal]

P.E. Obama please be Dwyane Wade's homeboy and let him interview you. This kid has tons of charm.

[westreal]

I meant Damon Weaver

[ImWithThatOne]

This kid has a bright future! I think O should give him his dream gig.

[IndyReader]

What a precious child. I have no doubt that Obama will give him an interview.

[Charmed]

LOL, that was so cute.....let's start a petition so he can get his interview (smile)

[rockyb26]

so cute. i loved "joe biden is my homeboy", hopefully he can add PEO to the ranks soon.

[drsmc41]

Come on, President Elect...Let him interview you...I can pick a number, too!!
This was too cute. It was good to see the players say they would not "let him win" How good would it be to be able to say, "I beat the Prez' in a little one-on-one?" ha ha

Great job, Damon! Keep that attitude!

[Aabby]

I hope Mr. PE does this for this cute little guy!

[kylennblack]

Aw! A future Edward R. Murrow!

I really hope Obama takes this kid up on his offer, it would be a really cool interview.

[amirct3]

Ahhh! Yes he can get an interview!!!

[BSERIUS]

Gotta think he is a better reporter than most of what we see every day on the networks.

[boogiewoman]

How cute. I hope you get to interview President-Elect Obama. Such a sweet little fella.
