  • you lost me at that "face of god" part.

  • @MaxwellSDSU two words in your comment contradict each other. honest and politician. but I get what you are saying. maybe instead of electing a certain leader or type of leader for each city in america, have the citizens do something to help as well. what good is a community if they aren't working to fix problems within the community?

    God as the God in us, the divine elevated inspiration. Look beyond words, think intention, and connect on that frequency people. One Love!

  • When i heard this last nite,ifelt inspiration and hope

    Thanks Booker

  • These words shared by Mr. Booker were very encouraging to say the least. My slight problem that I have with this short testimony is that somehow we're suppose to participate in mental gymnastics. If I observe a poverty stricken neighborhood am I not to say so. I do understand the point the tenant manager was making, but is she being realistic. We all know that disparity has existed for over 6000 years. Mr. Booker would do well to realize that we live in a fallen world.

  • Former head of the World Health Organization’s global AIDS program, JONATHAN MANn (018-36-8674) isn’t related to JONATHAN Rabinowitz, a former law partner of Cory Booker—the mayor of New Jersey’s largest city, Newark. MANn’s surname has an “extra N”, while Booker’s first name, CORY, skips the “E” of traditional COReY. Pegged: Unrelated to the Peggy’s Cove disaster or idle “a life in politics” childhood themes, Swiss Air 111 crashed on the 168th birthday of U.S. Sen. William Pierce Frye: 9/02/98

  • It is nice to see there are some sensible Democrats left in this country. I believe that this guy should be in the WH instead of BO. He is twice the man, twice the mind and 400 times the speaker. While I disagree with him on several issues, I applaud him for his consistency, trustworthiness and commitment to his constituency. He is a great guy and a true Democrat, not like his whacked out Washington D.C. fellow partisans!

  • Learned about him in my American government class. I like him

  • i think he has to tell a hard lesson from an experience, and i can talk about this as my hard experience from a 3rd person who just views a simple video, this has just changed my mind

  • Wow!!! The mayor of my city got a featured YouTube video!!!
