Jeremy Hernandez is the man. He was trapped on a tilting school bus in the recent Minnesota bridge collapse with a bunch of kids and rose to the challenge of the chaos by kicking out the back door and leading them all to safety. The media loves a good hero story and Jeremy has been getting buffeted by accolades, interview requests, and gifts. He's been offered free tuition at a car repair tech school (he had had to drop out of a program because he couldn't afford the $15k/year costs). The best part of this whole thing (you know, besides all the kids he saved) is that when the White House called him about a photo op with our stupid president, he had one simple word for them. "Nope". Much respect to Jeremy Hernandez.

This so called environmental group has more politics on its mind then recycling. A real wolf in sheep's clothing.

I love it!

Minnesota resident, Jeremy Hernandez, has received a lot of attention lately for his heroic deeds. He managed to rescue a school bus full of children during the hectic aftermath of a recent bridge collapse. And adding to his greatness recently, when the White House called asking for a photo-op with the President and this genuine working class hero, his calm reply was simply: "Nope."

I think it takes a lot of strength to turn down a photo-op with a famous person.
