Remember the good old days? Back during the Dem primaries? When Barack Obama was such an electrifying speaker that women were regularly fainting at his rallies? Ah, how times have changed. Instead of knocking them out with his other-worldly aura, Obama's now . . . putting them to sleep.
Check out the woman in the lower-right hand corner of the screencap, seen on CNN today during a live broadcast of Obama on the stump in Virginia. No, I didn't catch her in mid-blink. She actually dozed off just as Obama was ventilating on the horrors of the Bush economy.
View video here, which shows the woman falling into, then struggling out of, the arms of Morpheus.

Instead of fainting, now they’re falling asleep ping to Today show list.
Oh, you’re wrong. She really has fainted and the guy behind her is holding her up.
I’m not surprised. I’ve seen more and more faces behind Obama showing disinterest and boredom.
Poor baby. Probably fell asleep from working 8 extra hours a day the last 3 days "volunteering" so she could score some tickets to bam bams acceptance speech.
My impression was, they just wanted to get Obama out of their ASAP.
I agree that the wall of faces for Boma is growing glummer and glummer. It makes you wonder why they even bother. Sometimes they’ll have a bunch of kids and they are picking their nose or whatever. It gets kind of ridiculous. A thin red line between comedy and tragedy...
At least he doesn’t make me sleep walk and almost burn my house down like the cursed Ambien did!
Ya know, that guy HAS become boring. I almost fell asleep myself listening to his stale oratory.
It sounds like Obama is all burned out.

It sounds like Obama is all burned out.
Great message he’s got there: “We can’t keep on going in the same direction.” Let’s all go in a whole bunch of different directions.
I read here yesterday that Obama is SELLING lawn signs to his supporters.
Oh, the audacity!
Do you think that perhaps he’s becoming more snor-y and stinky as his wife stated he is? That’s would do it.
Obama uses so many words to say so little.
Yes! I heard someone maybe Rush say the signs were $8 and you had to volunteer for his campaign!
If it was on the ballot...I’d vote for Ambien over Barack.
Nothing interesting in Barack, empty suit, just like you won’t have any interesting dreams if you use Ambien.
But he says nothing better than anyone I've ever heard ... with the possible of exception of the Teller half of Penn & Teller
Typical narcoleptic.
My wife fell asleep during Obama’s Saddleback appearance. I had to wake her up for McCain’s masterful turn.
Yeah, but there are fewer side-effects from Ambien.
BO’s new theme song, courtesy of the great BB King. The last verse says it all.
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you’ll be sorry someday
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should
You know I’m free, free now baby
I’m free from your spell
I’m free, free now
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s over
All I can do is wish you well
Guess the next time I see him on the stump on c-span, I’ll have to tape it for Mrs. Springman, for when she can’t get to sleep.
Of course, if I do that, I’ll need to pour water on her to get up the next morning.
He has ALWAYS been boring! The excitement was self-induced by the crowd.
I am telling you guys, he is the Pet Rock of politics. You remember the Pet Rock don’t you? First EVERYONE had to have them, and thought they were hysterically funny. Everyone had one on his/her desk.
Then they were sort of ignored, sitting on the desk next to the used coffee cup and the paper clip tray.
Finally, they were shoved to the back of a desk drawer or thrown away, and people said to themselves, “What was I thinking? I paid good money for a rock in a box!”
The more I hear Obama the more boring I find him. That’s why more exposure is better. His voice drones on and on.
