The city's full of people who you just see around.

Summary

This quote suggests that in a bustling city, there are numerous individuals who are constantly present but remain somewhat anonymous. They may cross paths and be visible to others, yet their presence is fleeting and lacks substantial connections. It implies a sense of detachment and impersonal interactions that often occur in densely populated urban environments, where many faces are seen but few meaningful relationships are formed.

For the last five years, we have been presented with the idea that Barack Obama is superhuman. Barack Obama is unlike any of us or anyone else. And he isn't.
