The crowd was a 100,000 strong, but Obama's supporters were helpful - even to his impersonator - and pushed Notchi to the front row. Notchi managed to shake hands with Obama (and even touched his wedding ring!) and shouted at him, "My name Obama! My name Obama!" Holding Notchi's hand, Obama looked at him and smiled.
