Articulate Young Brotha

This Fifth grader is amazing. Check out his interview with the President. It is so obvious that Our President is a daddy, a hands on daddy. The way he converses with Damon is refreshing. The President doesn't talk down to him or belittle him but in the short time he has he actually answers, engages, enlists, and explains. Damon Weaver has also interviewed Joe Biden, Oprah, Colin Powell, and D Wade. If you do a YouTube search of Mr. Weaver you will find some interesting stuff.
