Defender of the Nation

In a time of endless troubles
When the nation is sunk in despair
Who will lend a steady hand
To the stalled ship of state?
Barack Obama has the confidence to try
Who will stand by his side?
Will it be you or I?
Some will respond, some not
When the troubles are history
When the economy is restored
When we enjoy freedom and democracy unfettered
Will you be able to proclaim?
I stood by Barack’s side
I met the challenge
I am proud of the part I played
I was a defender of the nation.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

He may have single highhandedly prevented economic collapse for a while. If so he keeps it a secret instead promises what every Euro Nation promised but was unable to keep.
How could anyone create jobs out of his hat without replacing subsistence checks with a few expensive make work projects.
