Damon Weaver
Damon Weaver is a bright young man who was hoping to score an interview with Barrack Obama during his inaguration. Weaver had submitted a YouTube video and wrote a letter to the White House in attempts to make this happen. I remember seeing the 10 year old on CNN and he while he maintains a 10 year old charm he presents himself with much maturity.
When Weaver didn't get the interview the public stepped up and sent emails on Weaver's behalf.

Weaver eventually interviewed Joe Biden and just recently was able to interview the President.
The interview touched on serious topics like education and community.

What touched me most was when Weaver thanked the President for making his dream come true and of course when he asked the President to be his homeboy.
I love that President Obama treated Weaver with respect and did not speak to him like a little child but rather an equal. I think it is wonderful that this Weaver has an interest in social issues at such a young age. I'm sure his interview with the President is a day he'll never forget.
