11-year-old interviews President Obama
11-year-old Damon Weaver has been making a name for himself as a budding student reporter since last year when he started doing television reports for his elementary school TV news program - Canal Point Elementary / KEC TV. Though Weaver has impressively managed to interview big names like Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy, Samuel L. Jackson, and even Vice President Joe Biden (among others) - his real goal was to land the biggest interview of all - Barack Obama. Weaver started an online campaign to rally support for his cause, asking people to help him convince President Obama to give him an interview. Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade even offered to play Obama in a game of one-on-one if he would agree to be interviewed by the determined 11-year-old.
Months of persistent effort later, all the hard work paid off, and Weaver finally had the opportunity to interview the President in the White House. Donning a suit as sharp as Obama's, Weaver asked Obama some tough questions about education, and how he handles being bullied all the time.
