People in the comments of the Christie article seem to think that as soon as the federal check clears, Christie will go back to attacking Obama.
It seems unlikely that he could go back on those strongly worded statements, but I have seen lying in this Presidential race that has been absolutely unprecedented, so perhaps Christie will join the fray.

Like msbelle said, Christie doesn't really have a filter. He's got a history of saying whatever the hell he feels like saying. Usually I disagree with him, but I can't really remember him ever outright lying, or saying things he didn't mean in order to get onto someone's good side politically, so I don't really see him starting that now.

The check is coming either way, so I doubt that's his motivation. I do think this will be short-lived, but it's a startling development.
Bottom line, for all his legion of faults Christie sees himself as too much of a maverick and straight shooter to fling the bullshit no matter what he personally thinks the way many prominent republicans now do.
I disagree with Christie politically, and he's definitely not my style, but as someone from the Northeast I kind of love him in a way, too. He's a personality type that I can't really even imagine outside of NY/NJ.
Edit: Similarly, I used to fly internationally out of JFK a fair amount, from a base in CT. I always KNEW I was back in the US when I got on Connecticut Limo, which always had these women in charge of dispatch who were sort of "only in NYC" types. Loved 'em.

This. Yesterday he was talking about rigging up power if your was out, and he basically said, "If it looks stupid, it is stupid, so just be patient."
I can see him just not giving a fuck about presidential politics right now, just do whatever he can for New Jersey. And good for him, that seems appropriate for a governor.
It's all fun and games until something starts messing with his people.
Yeah, I think he just literally doesn't give a shit right now.
Obama to tour NJ with Christie tomorrow.
Yeah, I saw him all but cuss out the AC mayor. I was like: dang.
