What About Mayor Booker?

[efdcapt115 1,511]

The story going around everywhere is about how the mayor of Newark pulled his neighbor out of a fire. I saw his interview yesterday and he got to the point where he referenced the fire department and said words to the effect of "now I know what that job is all about."

This should reflect well on the Newark FD. Anybody know what's been going on over there? What condition the job is in?

Hopefully this incident helps that job in some way.

What a real humble guy, on EVERY tv channel talking about HIMSELF.

One thing is for sure, no way The High Emporer Doomberg would ever do this

Exactly what I was thinking. While Mayor Booker may be tooting his horn a little much two things are undeniable. 1) Bloomerg would have never even considerd it, he would have told his escorts to call the fire department and leave it at that. 2) Mayor Booker has a long history of trying to do good whenever possible on his own time for the city of Newark.

I guess after all the cuts he has made he has realized he must now pick up some of the slack.

If he has a newfound respect for firefighters his actions will reflect it not his sound bites.
