I can't say I've been following New Jersey very closely, but having read his wikipedia article, I think you're being unfair about some things.
First, if it is true that he is self serving, he wouldn't do anything INTENTIONALLY so that it would be necessary to fire teachers. (Do you have proof that he lied about conversations with the secretary of education?)
Second, apparently as US attorney, he won convictions for corruption for republicans as well as democrats, something which in this political climate is special.
Third, if his attitude and demeanor have always been this harsh, then you get what you vote for. Nothing says he needs to be likable after being elected.
Fourth, in the response to the teacher, to his credit, he does not blame anybody except the teachers union. He has figures (which I haven't checked) at the tip of his tongue, and presents his argument in a convincing way.

I still don't like him though.
