Truly, we are living in an age of technological greatness.

Suffice it to say that Real Life Concerns have been weighing heavily upon my time, some of which I will discuss later, some of which I probably never will be able to.

Long and short of it, though, is that I'm still alive and kicking and hope to return to blogging form some time very soon.

What follows is by no means comprehensive, but it does shed some much-needed light on a number of Obama’s positions, statements, and associations about which he has been less than honest. We’ve attempted to boil each issue down to a succinct explanation with an accompanying, brief video clip—often starring Barack Obama in his own words. Before pulling the lever for someone who hopes voters will ignore his paper-thin resume, unsavory associations, and hard-left voting record, each citizen has a duty to do his due diligence.

Barack Obama promises “change,” which is an appealing concept to an American public weary of a beleaguered administration and worried about the future. They are faced with a candidate who promises them everything: Tax cuts for 95% of Americans, universal healthcare, peace, saving the planet, and—according to his wife—the “healing” of Americans’ souls. As the saying goes, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Questions abound: Is this man prepared to be president? Does he hold mainstream values and policy preferences? Who has influenced his thinking, and where does he want to take the country? Has he been honest with the people from whom he seeks votes?

Go ye and read the whole thing. It's lengthy but engaging.

Add a recurring cold into the picture and, to crib a phrase from Steve Jobs, I'm a bag of hurt this morning.

Should be an excellent week. *chuckle*

In three short years, he's gone from this:

Where has the time gone? My little baby is growing up.
Happy birthday, son. I love you.
