Gotta love a feel-good story like this. 3 cheers for the good mayor!
You can't do anything but love Corey Booker.
I just read this article on another site. I also saw the story Henry Lewis Gates just did on Mayor Booker. I am very impressed with this young man. I can see Mayor Booker and Governor Deval Patrick as future major leaders in the country. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing many great things come from both these young men. Good work and God Bless you Mr. Mayor...
saw this clip on the Today Show – this guy is a hero.
When it comes time to re-elect a new NJ governer, don't be surprised to see Booker run against Christie and win.
Politics aside, what a cool thing to have done. Kudos to the mayor.
Got to love a good neighbor..
You know what, I am not scared of guns and knives, but fire especially big fire will make me a coward of the country. My Mayor Booker is a real hero.
Well done to a brave guy. However, an act of valor onlr remains an act of valor if you don't brag about it on twitter and facebook. I would urge the Mayor to remain humble regarding his act. Afterall, it is something every person on the planet should be willing to do for another person.
Breaking away from his "bodyguards" to save a person from a burning building is an unbelieveably brave act by the mayor. He risked his life to save another. This is the definition of a hero.
And firefiighers and police do this every day of their life. All deserve trmendous thanks and whatever honors we can give them and their families.
