11 year old student Damon Weaver interviews President Obama at the White House

White House website:

Damon Weaver from the KEC TV News Team out of Kathryn E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary broke some big news about President Obama’s plan to address students across the country on September 8th.

The eleven-year-old Pahokee, Florida native asked some great questions concerning low-income communities, basketball, school lunches – and even bullies. At the end of it all, Damon announced "President Obama is now my homeboy too."

Damon did a fantastic job interviewing Obama. He asked intelligent questions. He puts the entire media into shame. Too bad Damon can't be replaced with some of the journalists. The late Cronkite and Murrow would be proud.
