I have been saying for months that Sheppard Smith is making sure that he maintains some sort of integrity so he can maintain his own viability when FoxNews craters. FoxNews can maintain its dominance as long as enough of their gullible followers still fail to realize that the same station they adore is a clear and present danger to their finances and their well-being.
One can deny reality until the master you worship tells you ‘no’ when in your time of need they are the only option. As a country that eventuality may be closer than many believe to a major financial crisis it may be wise.
One must wonder why the most prominent Republicans are choosing not to run. I really do not believe it is President Obama’s invincibility but that every sensible Republicans know that their policies will not be able to correct the 2nd tsunami that is about to hit us.
They are more than willing to let President Obama deal with the next economic catastrophe. As such the President should work on policies that will really get us out of the doldrums.

Shep Smith: Wisconsin Fight Has Nothing Do With Budget, All About Busting Unions (VIDEO)
On Wednesday’s "Studio B," Shepard Smith said the battle over union rights in Wisconsin was all about busting unions and securing Republican political power, not about the state’s budget deficit.
It was a take that placed Smith squarely in agreement with people such as Rachel Maddow, who has repeatedly argued essentially the same thing on her show.
Speaking to a mostly-in-agreement Juan Williams, Smith said the fight was "100 percent politics."
"There is no budget crisis in Wisconsin," he said, adding that the unions "[have] given concessions." The real point of the fight, Smith said, could be found in the list of the top ten donors to political campaigns. Seven out of the ten donated to Republicans; the other three were unions donating to Democrats.
"Bust the unions, and it’s over," Smith said. He then brought up the Koch brothers, the billionaires who have bankrolled much of the anti-union pushback in Wisconsin. The fight, Smith said, "started" with the Kochs, who he said were trying to get a return on the money they donated to Walker’s campaign.
"I’m not taking a side on this, I’m just telling you what’s going on…to pretend this is about a fiscal crisis in the state of Wisconsin is malarkey," Smith said.
