Cory Booker speech at DNC: Did he out-Jersey Chris Christie?

Newark Mayor Cory Booker spoke to a crowd at the Democratic National Convention shortly after spraining an ankle on his way to the speech Tuesday morning, and then fired up his audience even further when he presented the Democratic party platform that evening.

"You can take out my ankles, you can take out my knees, but I'm still going to stand up for Barack Obama," Booker said in a breakfast speech at 9:15 a.m., according to Newsday.

Booker later said the Democratic platform was about job creation, and not about partisan politics. "It's not about left or right, but moving America and our economy forward," Booker said, according to WSJ.com.

He commented on raising taxes on the wealthy saying, according to Yahoo! News, "Being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare. It's patriotism."

Booker also said that President Obama has made a large difference for people and businesses in Newark and New Jersey and the rest of the nation. The mostly inspired crowd was chanting for Booker after he finished.

POLITICO pointed out that Booker received a good response on Twitter. CNN’s Piers Morgan wrote: “Fantastic speech by @CoryBooker - rousing, inspiring, passionate.” Mike O’Brien called the speech “urgent,” and said “Mayor Booker must have wanted the keynote. “

Other people posted that Booker “Out-Jerseyed Chris Christie.” In the possibility of Booker challenging Governor Christie for his position in 2013, the Newark mayor may have taken the first shot. At the DNC, he told a crowd that if more Democrats had come out to vote in New Jersey’s 2009 gubernatorial election, “the world wouldn’t know who Chris Christie is.”

“Listen, there will be lots of stuff said between now and the election next November about a lot of different people and things,” Christie responded, according to nj1015.com.  “I have a great personal and professional relationship with Cory Booker.”

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
