YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“The sixth-grader who made Internet headlines on Thursday for his sharp interviewing style with President Barack Obama says he meant no disrespect.
“I didn’t mean to cut him off. I was just nudging him to get on,” said Osman Yahya, 12, in a telephone interview with POLITICO.

The Bennett Middle School student from the Salisbury, Maryland, school district stole the show on social media when he stopped the president from giving a lengthy answer on his love for reading.
“I think you’ve sort of covered everything about that question,” Osman told the president during their interview, when Obama began to again speak of his love for reading.
“Adults might have been diplomatic,” he said, but he was trying to keep the interview moving so that it could wrap up before students’ lunchtime.”
