Governor Chris Christie is known as a hands-on manager so his explanation that he knew nothing about this bridge traffic closing lacks any creditability. When the busiest bridge in the world is clogged with traffic in your state, a governor knows about it and demands answers. Especially after four days. It looks like he is lying to New Jersey and the American public. Not the way to start a campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
From the Daily Dish:
As a week loaded with questions for and apologies by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) drew to a close, one of his key mentors emerged with doubts about how the George Washington Bridge scandal would affect any 2016 ambitions.
In an interview with the Washington Post published Saturday, former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean Sr. (R) painted the either-or picture for Christie's presidential hopes, highlighting how the tumult from this traffic issue should raise caution.
“On the one hand, I think he’s got a lot to offer," Kean Sr. said. "I think he’s the most able politician since Bill Clinton. On the other hand, you look at these other qualities and ask, 'do you really want that in your president?'”
