“Amid discord, Romney Seeks to Sharpen Message on his Agenda.”
–The New York Times
We’ve got to go now hell for leather.
We’ve got to get our act together,
‘Cause even right-wing pundits say
That this campaign’s in disarray.
With our endeavor such a mess
We find it difficult to press
Our message that this country needs
A man who’s proven by his deeds
That he can turn a firm around,
That he is someone who’s renowned
For skills in management writ large.
But wait: that’s who we’ve got in charge.
