Damon Weaver, 11-Year-Old Reporter Gets His Interview With Obama (VIDEO)

Damon Weaver, the 11-year-old KEC TV News Team reporter from Kathryn E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary in Florida got his interview with President Obama today.

Weaver asked the president about Obama's plan to address students across the country on September 8th, low-income communities, basketball, school lunches and bullies.

Weaver must have been satisfied with the long-awaited interview: When it was over, he said, "President Obama is now my homeboy too."

I'm so happy for Damon, he did a great job.

Damon you are a special young man who is absolutely going to go far. I hope the Huffington Post sends you a list of the more KINDER comments.

The BO "press" coverage continues. Unattentive, incurious, and always willing to amplify his talking points.

[tlgeiger62]

Oh shut UP...this isn't about Obama...it­'s about Damon you numbskull!

[TauKappaPhi]

It's all about The One and his minions.

What a sweet girl you are. Sorry you get dumped all the time. But I'm sure there's a lib involved, eh?

[psychmaj323]

YAYYY I'm so happy he got his interview! He deserves it. He's strong, hard working kid; he truly deserved it.

To everyone talking about his diction, get over it, in time he'll learn to enunciate his words a lot better.

Please dear God don't let this wonderful young man on Hannity, Beck or Reilly.

Amen

[Bobbygoode]

A good moment. The gentlemen on both sides of this interview should give America hope.

It's inspiring to see President Obama sit down and answer this young man's questions thoughtfully without being patronizing.
