I think that he was doing what he thought was best of the sake of the people in his state. As Governor his first responsibility is to the people of his state and if kissing butt get's him the funding he needed then I don't have a problem with it. I was pissed off at first but after I thought things through I changed my point of view. I'm ok with most of his stances but a few I find troubling. If you make the call on his RINOness based on his politics then I can't argue much with that. However just because he sucked up to Obama speed up the process of getting some disaster recovery cash then don't just a book by it's cover. If he was my Governor then I would have wanted him to do what ever it took to help speed things up.
Being from Florida, we have the whole disaster recovery thing pretty will figured out. 
Please don't take this personal, but Christie is a "non-political RINO" idiot.
In this category are McLame, Graham, Romney....."non-political" all.
Obama and democrats across the board ARE political and this is why republicans are road kill. The democrats use every
opportunity to politicize everything. Every word, every action taken by Obama IS POLITICAL. They even tried to use
the Boston bombing for political purposes.
Remember back when Bush was president ? EVERY disaster hurricane, flood, tornado all were "Bush's fault", AND EVERY
democrat governor immediately went in front of cameras to COMPLAIN about the "slow response" by the federal government under BUSH.
This is why the republicans are "road kill" and obama and democrats are driving the truck.......republicans are
NOT political.
The RINOs are helping Obama and democrats to destroy America.
If they want to be non-political, stay out of government.
Christie and his ilk make me sick.
