Booker evades political aspiration question

Posted: Updated:
MYFOXNY.COM -

One of President Barack Obama's biggest supporters throughout the campaign season was Newark Mayor Cory Booker.

Booker, who appeared on Good Day New York the day after Mr. Obama was re-elected to a second term, was asked by Dave Price about his political aspirations. After some stammering, Mayor Booker answered the question.

If the President calls you to Washington, are you leaving?

"I learned this four years ago... nobody says no to the President of the United States. Who knows what will happen. I am where I need to be right now as Newark sees its most exciting development period since the 1950s. You have to consider anything from the President of the United Staes," said Booker.
