The rescuer: one who will dash in and "rescue" people whenever the moment is opportune to his or herself, that is. He or she then gains gratification from basking in the glory of his or her humanitarian actions.

Even though he made those DUMB REMARKS earlier I still like this Mayor. He's authentic and more down to earth than most other politicians out there... Keep being REAL!!

BookerMan comes to the rescue again. And, he does it without a cape or a mask. A real American super hero, straight of a comic book. I'd bet little Corey like Green Lantern when he was a kid.

Wonder if he follows trouble or if trouble follows him? Glad he's there and willing to help.

Most politician wouldn't even make a 911 call. Especially the republicans.

He has always a good heart of helping, but when it comes on talking, one should expect a different story.
