You might have read that little Damon Weaver, the Florida ten-year-old reporter who gave the internet our most adorable election coverage, has finally been granted media credentials to attend Barack Obama’s inauguration. And here’s video of little Damon prepping for his biggest potential interview yet — and telling us his intrepid, gonzo-journalism plan for getting access to the new President:

Now, Obama just has to agree to a real interview with Damon. You know who was the last person to diss Damon Weaver? John McCain. And we all know what happened to him.

  1. New slogan for 2012 to replace “Yes We Can”…

    “Never Give Up About the Press Credentials.”

  2. What happened to Omari! Where is the coverage of Damon’s faithful camerman who disappeared near the end of the election? This is both frightening and an outrage. Somewhere there is a young A/V savant with a very bitter heart right now.

  3. This is THE BEST about the internet, that people like Damon Weaver can come into our knowledge. I loooove you internet right now.
    I will hate you soon, where I read the next post about White People singing Motown.

    I just realized that I will never ever be as Awesometastic as Damon Weaver- and that; well, that- made me really, horribly, sad.

  5. Damon Weaver is awesome. He’s only ten and he’s more determined than most people I know. When I grow up, I wanna be Damon Weaver.
