Obama: Audience Member Faints (Video)

Here we go again.

Obama is knocking them off their feet, literally.

Remember during the 2008 presidential campaign, a slew of people experienced fainting spells while in the presence of Obama.

THREE people fainted at the rally Obama held in Madison on October 15, 2007. THREE women were overcome. I'm not sure but that may have been the record for one event.

FAINTER #1
OBAMA: "Did somebody drop?"

"We got paramedics on the scene."

"She looks good."

FAINTER #2
OBAMA: "We got another person?"

"I'm just knocking 'em off their feet."

"Paramedics are on their way."

"Everybody stay hydrated."

FAINTER #3
OBAMA: "Oh, oh. We need one more."

"Paramedic..."

"We should have had this outside."

"We weren't expecting this much heat."

"She's the third."

"She has a really nice smile, so she's OK."

Today, the fainting resumed.

Video.


OBAMA: It looks like we’ve got somebody who might’ve fainted down there, so if we’ve got a medic. No, no, no. Hold on. I’m talking about there’s somebody who might’ve fainted right down here, so if we can get a medic just back here. They’re probably okay. Just give her or him some space.

UPDATE: Did the individual faint or was he being dragged out by police for interrupting Obama's speech?

It appears that the White House transcript of Obama's health care pep rally in Ohio is incomplete at best and misleading at worst.

(Audience member faints.)

THE PRESIDENT: It looks like we’ve got somebody who might’ve fainted down there, so if we’ve got a medic. No, no, no. Hold on. I’m talking about there’s somebody who might’ve fainted right down here, so if we can get a medic just back here. They’re probably okay. Just give her or him some space.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Hope you have insurance. (Laughter.)

The White House left out the shouts of "How dare you!"

As documented on C-SPAN video, a man was being dragged out by police. He didn't faint.
