Damon Weaver, 11-Year-Old Reporter, Grills President Obama

Consider the brief journalistic career of Damon Weaver, a fifth-grader at Florida's Kathryn E. Cunningham Canal Point Elementary. Since joining his school's television station (KEC TV), he has covered the presidential election of '08 (eventually landing an interview with Joe Biden), attended the inauguration, and then gone on to snag airtime with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Paula Abdul, Norah O'Donnell, David Gregory, Caroline Kennedy, Meghan Kelly, Dwayne Wade, L.L. Cool J, Jordan Sparks and Major Garrett. His high-profile interviews have been so noteworthy that Weaver himself has become something of a "get" for other reporters and news outlets. To date, he has been interviewed on "Fox & Friends," "Larry King Live," NPR, CNN's "American Morning" and MSNBC, as well as a host of local stations.
