President Obama inteviewed by Student Reporter Damon Weaver

“I’m sure some of you have followed this story somewhat, but for those of you who haven’t, Damon Weaver is a student reporter from Florida who made a name for himself by snaggin’ an interview with Joe Biden, and ending the interview with ‘Joe Biden is now my homeboy!’ …

“He requested an interview with then-Senator Obama, but it never happened. So every time he’d interview a celebrity or politician (and he’s interviewed several … lol) he would ask them, ‘Do you think Mr. Obama should grant me an interview?’ or something along those lines, and they would send a message to Obama to grant the lil kid an interview.

After some brief remarks on Iraq, the President speaks on the importance of finding innovative solutions to our nation’s challenges at the community level. June 30, 2009.
