Smart or glib makes little difference that I can see. He now gets to spout whatever pleases him. The issue is now someone elses problem. As long as he doesn't say anything *REALLY* stupid, he can always come out looking great. He has no responsibility any more. He can state that some hard choices are the correct ones and it is still up to somebody else to take the heat of implementation. If he was right he can claim credit, if wrong, the other guy blew it. He's just a rather visible arm chair quarterback now.
