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.


About the Author
Mathew Honan made barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com in February 2008. A contributing editor at Wired magazine, his writing can also be found in Salon.com, Mother Jones, The New York Sun, and Popular Science.

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 Barack Obama Makes Change, October 15, 2008
By Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
"Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle" is a hilarious book (based on a website of the same name) parodying the presidential candidate's messianic pretensions. If one kept track of the hugely entertaining Democratic National Convention (it had Sheryl Crow,Dave Matthews,and Kanye West as part of the musical lineup) in Denver,Obama was described as "wiping away the tears of the afflicted" (by John Warner,R-Virginia) and that he'd "help you achieve your hopes and dreams" (by his half-sister) If you're lucky,you can find a video of blue-shirted children singing the praises of their Beloved Leader.

"Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle" has corkers such as-
Barack Obama made tomato soup and grilled cheese for you
Barack Obama checked for monsters under your bed
Barack Obama commented on your blog
Barack Obama favorited you
(What about "Barack Obama makes change for you?")

Whether you're Democratic or Republican,this book crosses party lines. It will be hope for the future,one filled with laughter!
