Scrutiny, Scrutiny

Two days ago the Drudge Report had led
The headlines with a Romney ad, and here,
As best as he can make the thing appear,
Is one Barack’s opposing blow, the head
Of state attacking how the head of Bain
Had handled having jobs.  The funny part
Is media’s reaction to the art
Of telling half a truth, the very main
And core requirement of any man
In race for public office.  I’d assume
A good and thorough look at any whom
I’d ask to be a leader is a plan
That’s worth applying evenly.  Alas,
We nitpick one, and let the other pass.
