AUSTIN — Ginny McCallum, 43, who has been confined to a wheelchair for much of her adult life, came to hear presidential candidate Barack Obama speak at the University of Texas. Afterward she found herself in a wheelchair access breezeway as Obama and his entourage exited the arena. The candidate spotted her, came over, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She found herself standing for the first time in eleven years.
"He smiled at me and said, ‘Yes, you can,’" she says. "I was so stunned I didn’t know what to do."
McCallum is among hundreds of people who say they have been healed by the Democratic candidate, in one of the most surprising and little-acknowledged aspects of his campaign. Reporters have shied away from the story, chalking it up to "Obama-mania" and people’s feelings of elation.

sidesplitting. When’s the next McCain ad?
Just in case someone starts going off, it’s humor.
And in other news, Obama touched water and turned it into 40-oz bottles of Old English 800.
Or Mad Dog 20/20?
Yea I also heard that he rubbed some mud on a blind man’s eye and he now can see. Caught a fish the other day and fed the reporter pool that is following him. /s
YES, you CAN!!!
Yep, you’re right, it’s humor. But I have to confess that I thought it was a real story at the start. It certainly seems plausible that people would attach mystical healing powers to the “Magic Negro”.
“And in other news, Obama touched water and turned it into 40-oz bottles of Old English 800.”
LOL!
Next he’ll be forgiving carbon producers, telling them to “go and warm no more.”
