Four Year Old Jesse Gets His Wish! Named ‘Governor for the Day’ by Chris Christie

Remember little Jesse Koczon–the New Jersey infant who was all in a tizzy because he wanted to be governor, but was too small? The Blaze reported his story last week.
Well, days after sending a sweet tweet message to Jesse, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie named the little guy honorary governor for the day:
Here is the initial video of Jesse, where he says–with, shall we say, animation–that he wants to be the governor of New Jersey (and as a bonus, he does an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression!):
You can read the funny tweet Christie sent Jesse in response here: ”Don’t worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn’t be Governor, though being too small wasn’t one of them.”
Only one problem: Jesse wants to raise property taxes. Maybe Gov. Christie can teach Jesse a thing or two about fiscal matters before he takes Trenton by storm when he’s actually of age.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 12:51amI just absolutely love Chris Christie – he’s got the stand up and take command and here he is just as fantastic in taking the time for a little childs wish! Good for him. I still hope he changes his mind and throws his hat in the ring.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 5:50ammuddywood, thanks for the info. Did here the gun control bit from the Hannity show. Was hoping that beeing around real Americans that are conservative or libertarian would rub off on him. This story is still great though.

Posted on April 7, 2011 at 5:38amChristy would have a hard time being elected with his stance on the 2nd Amendment. I personally don’t know anyone who wants to lose their gun rights, do you? So far what we know about Paul Ryan is good and I hope it stays that way. Christy was such a disappointment, there is so much to like about him but his cons are just too severe.

Posted on April 6, 2011 at 11:45pmChristie appears to be very warm and likeable when he does things like this. He is not all thunder like he has had to be with the unions in NJ. Nor is he always tough and direct like he has had to be in some of those town hall meetings. Glad we were able to see a soft side of him as well.
