New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's potential spot in the White House in 2016 is now questionable after the George Washington Bridge scandal. Christie claims he knew nothing of his staff's involvement in the lane shutdowns of the bridge even though the whole fiasco was happening right under his nose and repeatedly apologized to the state of New Jersey after firing two of his administrators. Consequently, his reputation has taken a huge blow since his name continuously appears in headlining articles about the traffic jam scandal and even in Jimmy Fallon's parody of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" as " The Gov. Chris Christie Traffic Jam." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VKHV0LLvhXM)
It's hard for the people of New Jersey to believe that Christie had no knowledge of the lane closures since two of his closest staff members were behind it. How could he have not know what they were up to when he worked with these people every day? If any clue is found that Christie knew about the lane closure strategy, Christie's career will be jeopardized especially since he wants to be president.
The people of New Jersey, of the United States want a governor, or even a possible president that they can trust, and they can't trust a man that caused a great big traffic jam.
