Reply #11: It sounds corny, but this reminds me of a Bible passage about Jesus [View All]

[panAmerican]

...and the woman who was sick with "the issue of blood." The story goes Jesus was in a massive crowd when he felt power come out of him, and asked his disciples, "Who touched me?". The disciples looked at him like he was crazy and basically replied, "This is a huge crowd! What do you mean, 'Who touched me?' " But Jesus was talking about someone who touched him with an intensity of purpose.

Later, the woman admitted saying to herself, "If I can only touch him, I will be made whole (aka healed)," which she was. It seems like that many people in Obama's crowd think that if they can only touch him, they will believe this is really happening and they are part of history.
