"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!

I stumbled across this at Barnes & Noble and consequently stood there in the aisle giggling for about half an hour. This book is very lighthearted and somehow really hilarious in its simplicity– what’s most amusing is that I can actually imagine Barack in all these slightly ridiculous situations just being awesome and helpful. Naturally!

Within the covers of this little "pun" are pages of pre-school pics and semi-one-liners. I hate to think I added to the coiffures of the person who thought up this idea to make money! Maybe I will give it a try. So, if you run across a book out "here" or "there" titled ‘Book Buyer is Your New Patsy’….. BUY IT! I promise you much more fun to be had between the pages of my pundit!

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.

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.

Product Description

Here are the facts:

The United States has released 425 terrorists from Guantnamo, at least 50 of whom have returned to the battlefield to fight our troops.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both say they’re fiscally responsible. But each has called for $1 trillion in tax increases over the next ten yearsand dressed them up as tax cuts!

Mainstream Media has been given marching orders from the Society of Professional Journalists: never refer to Islamic terrorists or Muslim terrorists. And they are obeying! Whenever our brave agents disrupt a terror plot, The media dismisses the culprits as a gang of idiotslulling us into a false sense of security.

If the liberals win the 2008 election, they will cripple talk radioforcing stations to give equal time to left-wing programs, and insisting that liberals play a key role in station management.

Up to a quarter of all state pension funds in the United States are invested in companies that are helping Iran, Syria, North Korea, or the Sudanfor a total of nearly $200 billion.

The Do-Nothing Congress is still doing nothingand the worst offenders are the presidential candidates Clinton, Obama, and McCain, who never show up for their day jobs as senators . . . except to pick up their $165,000 paycheck!

Is it any wonder that Americans feel fleeced at every turn?

As more and more critical problems develop that need national attention, the White House and Congress appear to be AWOL.

Who’s calling the shots instead?

Big business, big government, big labor, and big lobbyists. And their self-serving agendas are doing nothing to help the ever-increasing number of American people who are losing their homes, paying credit card interest rates higher than 25 percent, and finding their jobs increasingly outsourced to foreign countries.

In this hard-hitting call to arms, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann reveal the hundreds of ways American tax-payers are routinely fleecedby our own government; by foreign countries like Dubai that are gobbling up American interests and spending millions to influence government decisions and American public opinion; by Washington lobbying firms that are pushing the agendas of corrupt foreign dictators on Capitol Hill; and by hedge-fund billionaires collecting huge tax breaks courtesy of the IRS.

With their characteristic blend of sharp analysis and insider insight, Morris and McGann call offenders of all kinds on the carpetand offer practical agendas we all can follow to help turn the tide.

No matter whether you are liberal or conservative, you need to read this book. He predicted what was going to happen with the stock market in JANUARY!!!! Among other items that we are now dealing with. This is expecially important information since we are getting FLEECED with this bail out.

Review date : 2008-12-24
This is a controversial book but one that should be read by every American. Dick Morris is one of the most perceptive political writers around and his book nails certain abuses in the political realm that we should know about. Whether you like him or not, his intelligent assessment is worth reading.

Review date : 2008-12-22
Dick Morris is one of a kind and I enjoyed this book. I don’t doubt what he says about the left wing/PC agenda, but parts of it are so over the top even for me.

In particular, when detailing the corrosive effect of liberal influences on the American culture, Dick mentioned movies made which he categorized as pandering smoking to kids. Since the flicks showed people smoking and (so he says) the flick was geared towards kids, they therefore promote smoking to children. Problem is, his list of films includes PG-13 and even R rated movies.

By no stretch of the imagination should an R rated movie be seen as meant for children. For example, he lists "Walk The Line" as one of the movies of 2005 which shows people smoking and as such is pandering smoking to kids. "Walk The Line" is a movie about the true life of country legend Johnny Cash. Since much of the storyline was set in the 1960s, a time where many people smoked (egad, even indoors!), it of course shows people smoking (duh). How else should the story of real people living their lives as they really did - as smokers - be told? How do we tell a war story without soldiers smoking? Or a cops and robbers flick without scenes of drug use? And as with all R-rated films, children were not the intended audience.

Though I’m with him on the overall premise of the book, Dick went further than he really had to here. There is so much evidence of the left wing influence and its corrosive effect on American culture that stretches of credibility like his movie hit-list are completely unnecessary. Other than that, good book and a worthwhile read from a unique conservative commentator.

Our freedom’s and rights are slowing vanishing.

Even if you think you know everything there is to know about politics, government and this past election, you still need to buy this book. You will find much information, web links, emails and addresses to your politicans and express your views. This is one book that will stay in my possession for a good long time.

Review date : 2008-12-21
I found this book to be very well written and documented and extremely informative. At the same time it is scary knowing what actually takes place in government. I recommend this to anyone willing to know the truth and desiring to do something to correct the problems.

I love Indiana Jones. Though it seems ridiculous that at 65 Ford can do all those stunts, especially at his age, Shia does a great job and so does Karen.
Number 4 is NO WHERE as good as the other 3 but it was still enjoyable fun to watch these stars go on yet another adventure.
But does anyone know if this box set contains the special editions recently released?

Review date : 2008-10-10
This set contains the four cinematic adventures of Indiana Jones. Raiders is a classic piece of cinema. A brilliantly directed action adventure film paying homage to adventure serials of the 30s. Temple of Doom pays similar homage, but takes Indy into horror and fantasy territory. Doom is extremely polished and lavish, personally I love it equally with Raiders. Last Crusade brings back the popular elements of Raiders, along with Sean Connery as his father. There is some brilliant dialogue in this film and banter between them. It’s probably the most family oriented of the original three. Then we have Crystal Skull, the new instalment. Personally I enjoyed it and think it is a worthy entry into the sage of Indiana Jones. There are some over the top moments, but like Temple of Doom before it, the film really pushes the fantasy elements of the action scenes. Marion Ravenwood is back and well, I won’t spoil it. It’s great to see Indy back after 20 years. Buy this set, you will watch all the films over and over again!

Review date : 2008-10-06
Cheesy fun. That’s all it is. If you’re expecting realism or drama or the Godfather, you’re barking up the wrong tree. If you’re looking for 8 hours of cheesy fun, best accompanied by a bottle of vodka, then look no further.

And if you’re wondering about the fourth movie, don’t worry. The ending very clearly emphasizes that Shia is NOT replacing Harrison, and there will only be one Indy

The only big reason that I can see against buying this boxset is as follows: will this be the last one? I doubt it. Personally, I’m waiting for the fifteen-disc, six-movie box to be released… and you know it’ll happen

Review date : 2008-10-04
People seem to keep talking about Indy 4, but this all four. And all are great. SEE THEM!

Review date : 2008-10-03
This movie was awesome! He still has the touch to make action and comedy blend together. Sure, he’s alot older now than when he did the last crusade, but that’s the beauty of it. I think he’s in great shape for his age and did alot of his own stunts in it. Shia, I could do without. I think he’s a bit overblown. Lucas/Spielberg/Ford are talking about doing another one but even they admit they would have to hurry because Ford is getting any younger to do these sort of things. I love the way it ends. Lucas has already said Shia will NOT replace Ford. And the end proves it if you pay attention to it. It’s masterfull the way they let the fans know there is and always will be one Indy!!

The Capacity to Govern: A Report to the Club of Rome

The world is in need of what I call FOUNDATIONAL-INSPIRATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERSHIP. "Foundational Leadership" is leadership which focuses on laying foundations for a better future. "Inspirational Leadership" is leadership gaining support and cooperation by presenting an inspirational realistic vision for the future.

The collection of speeched by Barack Obama clearly demonstrates a great potential of becoming an outstanding foundational-inspirational American and global leader. Let us hope that this potential will be fully realized.

This collection of speeches is strongly recommended for close reading by leaders, students of leadership and political science, scholars and practitioners interested in rhetorics (in the positive classical sense of the term), and indeed by all active citizen world-wide.

The details of the book are covered well in other reviews, but I do
want to add that this book includes the last speech of his campaign
(on Nov 3 in Manassas Virgina) where he diverts from his stump speech
a bit and reflects on his historic campaign.

This is significant because you will not be able to find a transcript
of this one online because a copy was not given to reporters. As
riveting as his victory speech.

Review date : 2008-11-29
Being on a budget I let myself get only one item to remember the election by — this book was it.

It has every important speech of the campaign starting with his announcement to run for president and ending with his Victory speech on election night in Grant Park. In between you get his speech on race, his acceptance speech at the democratic national convention, his speech after he won the Iowa caucuses — and 11 others.

This edition is called the "international version" because it contains a bonus speech — his one in Berlin, which technically was not part of his campaign.

The best part is that when you read these, you actually hear his voice, and find yourself re-inspired.

Review date : 2008-09-19
This book starts with Obama’s speech announcing his candidacy for the President of the United States and goes straight through to his riveting victory speech in Grant Park in front of 200,000 people.

This book also includes —

The night he won the Iowa Caucus and declared "…at this moment, in this election, we are ready to believe again."

The historic "race speech" where Obama shares his vision for "a more perfect union."

The last night of the democratic primary, when, after 54 contests, he could say "I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States."

There are a total of 15, complete, unedited, full text transcripts which can be read and savored in a fraction of the time of watching these speeches live. I was able to relive the best moments of the campaign, one after another, after another.

…And of course his victory speech on Nov 4, 2008 when he became President of the United States.

I have bought already "In His Own Words: Barack Obama The American Promise" some weeks ago for myself.
As this one is the updated edition which also contains all his latest speeches including his victory speech on the election night I just ordered three copies of this new edition as this will be really a great and "packed" christmas gift for my good friends who are Barack Obama supporters as well.
I think the christmas cover is a great idea as this makes it a kind of christmas gift which makes a difference.

Review date : 2008-12-23
The book is kind of small with small print and contains 20 speeches. Most of the orators are well known to include MLK Jr and Malcolm X, but only one entry per speaker. I was surprised to see a speech by Obama, albeit a lessor known commencement address. The 2004 Democratic Convention speech would have probably been a good addition. It was a very inexpensive book so a good value.

It was wonderful to read these great speeches by great people. The book is something to be cherised by all. It was easy reading and the price is right. I will probably purchase more of this book to give to friends and family. Barack Obama is the man of the year, so everyone wants to read his speech.

Review date : 2008-07-25
I expected this book to be inspiring, since I have collected quotes from these speakers…. It lived up to the promise and then some. There is such a compelling glimpse into history and moments of greatness, probably seen best in hindsight.

I would love to see this book used in schools!
