Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle

Title: Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle - 366 Ways He Really Cares

Author: Mathew Honan

Pages: 192

Genre: Humor

Grade: B

Synopsis: This is the book version of the classic website http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com/.  Back in Obama's campaign to be POTUS, many people were simply obsessed with Barack Obama, believing that he could do no wrong.  Honan's wife was working for the Obama campaign, obsessing about every detail.  Now the lesser-known accomplishments of Obama have been published in this easy to read book.

My Review: Luckily, I was able to score this book on amazon.com for less than $2 (strangely, my local library doesn't carry a copy...).  A few of the more inspiring things that Obama has done for me include the following:
  • Barack Obama paused the Tivo when you went to the bathroom.
  • Barack Obama left a comment on your blog.
  • Barack Obama held your hand when you were frightened.
  • Barack Obama waited on hold for a half hour with Apple tech support to get your Macbook fixed.
  • Barack Obama caught your baby when she slipped through your arms.
  • Barack Obama counted all your pennies and rolled them up in paper.
