Student reporter seeks Obama inauguration interview

I can’t help but hope Obama agrees to an interview with Florida elementary school student Damon Weaver. He’s probably the only reporter who can offer court-time with Miami Heat basketball players.

Weaver, the Anderson Cooper of his school’s television station, first hit the national spotlight with his interview of then-candidate Joe Biden. What could make an educational experience more authentic than getting hundreds of thousands of YouTube views — and having your interviewee elected to national office?
