I like Cory. Unlike our Harvard grad limped wrist President, Cory Booker the real deal. I would vote for him as Governor and President. If anyone knows how to get Cory a civilian valor award, please do.

misericordia,
Cory Booker went to Yale, Oxford and Stanford. Not that any of those institutions are bad places to have been, but I don't understand why Harvard would be a problem either. Do people in those sorts of places have limp wrists?

Whats wrong with going to Harvard? Is he too smart for you?

Mom, How about this: Because they are not manly? They are soft and delicate. Not scrappy and usually let others do the hard work. They don't shake your hands firmly. They sit in plushy desks and give out orders that put men in harms way. They quickly take the credit when the hard work is done by real men and women.

There is nothing wrong with Harvard if you can get in.

Thanks for the laugh ...

Fenders,

Easy fella. Politicians are in the business of attention getting. It's how they get things done.

Isn't Sunday double time Wayne?

Simple. If these guys want to make movies, let them use their own money, on their own time, then see how many people are actually willing to reach in their packets and pay to go see the Christie/Booker comedy show! Like the rest of us, they can then keep the profits (minus taxes of course) or eat the loss!

Politics gone wild, on our dime! Disgusting!

duh. what are you saying Obama PRODUCES the View? I have no problem with the joke but this was CORNY AS HELL. I don't care who paid for it, it was worse than a bad SNL skit.

Yeah but the thing is, it isn't that funny.

this isn't regular guy humor, this is moronic humor, as is Romney's campaign.

@derek - I guess not everyone can be as 'cool' & 'smooth' as Mr. Obama and hang out with 'awesome' movie stars such as George Clooney. I am so impressed. yawn.

So if you owned a company and you are paying the employees out of your own pocket, you would be ok if they were on the clock not doing their jobs, making a video and expensing the other cost to you? It would be one thing the the state and the city of Newark were in great shape to say it is no big deal and just having some fun, but they are not.

Cranky, Cranky!! I couldn't agree with you more! I'm so glad I don't have to live with ANY of these people...they must be real joys to come home to every day. Good God!! Lighten up!!!!

Miserable? Well there sure isn’t much to smile about around here is there? Manufacturing is gone, Telecom gone, Drug Companies exiting stage left, and biotech has flow the coop. What’s left? Hospitals, old age homes, and 7-11, and the hospitals as you may have noticed are shutting down all over town. Great, we can all work changing bedpans, or selling cigarettes to minors, while watching the Christie Show!

Over the last decade 700,000 high wage earners have left this state for greener pastures else where. That’s the real reason we are out of money. It’s not the teachers, police, or firefighters. It’s not even the State workers. It’s the FACT those who can are moving away droves, and when they leave, they take their money with them!

Here, you want to make me happy. Have Christie, push as hard as he does against teachers, to make this a “Right to Work” state, then structure deals to bring back Ford, GM right along with VW, Nissan, Toyota, and Honda. Oh and STOP hanging $4,000.00 solar panels on telephone poles that do nothing, but make the “connected” rich!

Get this state back to work, then frankly I don’t care what comedys movies Christie wants to make, so long as they aren’t on my dime, and so long as I‘m not forced to watch them!

Curt, of course we are miserable, we are probably part of the 50% that pays taxes. They would find it amusing if Christie took and landed the state chopper on Ferry St in Newark to get all you can rodizio with Booker for lunch, lol :-)

Yeappers, once a Qtr. whether I want to or not! Even better, if I underestimate my yearly total tax load, and don’t have at least 90% of it paid by year end, I get a hefty fine, (they call it a penalty) and have to pay interest on the whole shebang!

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” Adrian Rogers

The New Jersey Press Association's Legislative Correspondent's Club is the joke. All they do is kiss New Jersey's politicians butts in order to get access to them and interviews. Fools!

Bring in the clowns! [Correction to above: The circus has never LEFT the Garden State!]

If you gonna be a clown promoter, then do it right.

I heard Cristie rescued a pizza from a burring oven ;-)

Cory was great with his "Feud" with Conan O'Brien, but there he was defending Newark as the mayor and not in some produced skit. In the end it resulted in the Newark Now charity getting a $100,000 donation. Not sure what the purpose is of this video in their duties as elected officials?

I agree; however, most politicians have trouble telling the truth. Did you notice three days after the rescue his pants were on fire! [Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!]

Hey look. The fact is that too many politicians talk big. But we know that when it comes down to it, they sell their own mothers to save their skin. I don't see Booker as that kind of guy. In fact his actions where courageous and show the exact opposite of the typical politician.

Example: Remember this courageous President? "I did not have sex with that woman".

No Mom, he truly meant "act" because he is one great big actor and all the world (at least in Newark) is a stage.

What happens if a person doesn't have a "day job"?

Never on a Sunday.

Laughter is the best medicine and remember if it wasn't for alcohol three-quarters of the people in New Jersey would have no sex life whatsoever.

So, you want Obama to get your pothole fixed? He can't just flick a switch and get rid of the the slums.

seriously, the stimulus was ALL Obama's idea???? really? where do most of you people get your facts from? besides, it's done, it's over...kinda like what the people who got us into Iraq for no good reason said once we demolished it......scam. Get your facts straight and come out of the pot hole that's in front(?) of your house.

Under President Obama, America's seen the slowest increase in federal spending in decades. And the President has a balanced plan that would reduce the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next 10 years. Share this chart to get the facts out. (via MarketWatch):
Reagan 82-85: 8.7 t
" 86-89: 4.9
Bush1 90-93 5.4
Clinton 94-97: 3.2
" 98-01: 3.9
BushII 02-05: 7.3
Bush II 06-09 8.1*
(stimulus passed onto Obama in 09)
Obama: 10-13: 1.4
Source: Haver Analytics....so please, have your facts about who spent what, where.

I'm trying to point out the fact that Obama can't just come to your street and fix your pothole, thats something you should take up. I've had potholes on my street before, I called my Assemblywoman and the next day they had trucks fixing up the potholes.

yeah. like bush did to iraq.
