Product Description

The complete list of all the little things Barack Obama has done for you

America has fallen in love with Barack Obama for his impassioned rhetoric, his commitment to change, and his hope for a brighter future. But what about the time he tuned up your guitar? Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle is the first book to chronicle all the lesser-known accomplishments of the freshman senator from Illinois, from finding your car keys to batting in the winning run for your softball team.

Mathew Honan, creator of the hit website barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com, spent hundreds of thousands of hours on the campaign trail to bring you 366 examples of some of the things America’s sweetheart of a senator has done for you, including:

* Barack Obama shoveled the snow from your walkway
* Barack Obama checked under your bed for monsters
* Barack Obama danced with your mom at your sister's wedding
* When one of your vocalists came down with a nasty bronchitis bug, Barack Obama sang backup in your band
* Barack Obama left a comment on your blog
* Barack Obama warmed up your car for you
* Barack Obama followed your directions even though he was pretty sure his way was faster

A must-have compendium of the sweet things he has done for you, Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle is the only book that can do justice to the nicest man who ever lived.

5.0 out of 5 stars In touch with the Obama spirit, and give chuckle after chuckle, August 5, 2008
By Kevin Fox "fury.com" (Mountain View, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Barack Obama bought me a copy of this book.

The book, as simple as it is, is a great conversation starter and creates smile after smile. At worst, it's a great coffee table litmus test to detect the political leanings of guests to your home, and at best it's a great conversation starter, enticing people to outdo each other with their own "Barack Obama is my..." quotes. What is Barack Obama to you?

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique title for a fun read If you like, October 3, 2008
If you like info and fun in a portable book, this one is IT: You won't be stuck with boring polysyllabic words you'd have to look up. "BARACK OBAMA is YOUR NEW BICYCLE" fits into a small pouch. You can open the book at any page and get the drift of any single sentence without missing what went before! Use your little highlighter that doesn't bleed through the page. And be careful about lending it out for laughs because you might not get it back. I keep returning to Amazon.com for bargains like this. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars [This is good], August 6, 2008
By C. Mcdowell Crook Jr. (Montgomery, AL) - See all my reviews
Barack Obama wrote this review for me.

Regardless of your political views, this collection will make you laugh. It's absurd and witty, ironic yet...hopeful. This is not just an issue of a black man asking for change--this is history people, and it's gonna be the four (eight) nicest years ever. Somewhere out there, somewhere near where you are sitting right now, this country has a pulse and this little book has its finger right on it.

[This is awesome]

These days, you don't have to dig very deep into a right wing claim to find the distortion (or even outright lie) behind it. So why do so many on the right take what the Right Wing Blowhards say at face value and propagate their misinformation?? 166 4 minutes ago
