President Obama, speaking in North Carolina a short while ago, noticed an audience member had fainted:

"Looks like somebody might've fainted up here, have we got . . . Somebody . . . EMS . . . Somebody . . Don't worry about it: Folks do this all the time in my meetings," Obama said. "You always got to eat before you stand for a long time--that's a little tip. They'll be OK, just make sure--give them a little room.

He fainted because he lost his breathalizer....oh, oh, I mean his in-hale-attetor...

[beethovenfan]

They faint because they get inundated by the bull$hit coming out of his mouth.

[crusty old prospector]

I just filled out my tax return and I fainted.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Here we go again.

please, I;m sure there no plants and maybe someone should take one of those pumps for Asthma and ask him while pumping it why is this destroying the air but you drove up here with how many SUV’s and how much fuel did you use t pollute to get here but my little Asthma med is being banned due to your admin and which will hurt many of us or even kill some of us

[Venturer]

The stench is probably enough to get most of us.

Quick! Someone file a FOI request and find out how much it costs us taxpayers to stock the audience with fainters. I'm sure Pelosi will be quick to point out that these fainters are actually helping the economy.

The man is a cheap TV evangelist/conman.

bam! yourrrrrr heeeeaaaalllllld!

[SMARTY]

Maybe they fainted because the light in their head just went on and they could’t believe that he was the President!!

Couple more tips - check your tire pressure, get regular tune-ups, carpool, take public transportation.

BARACK! has become the sound of someone retching violently.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The fainters are usually effeminate white, male ‘RATs. *shrug*

[Real Cynic No More]

Once again, HE!! confused his terminology, mis-stating “faint” when he meant to say “fall asleep”.

[FreeAtlanta]

[listenhillary]

From the smell of the attendee’s?

[ntnychik]

He’s pathetic, dragging out this tired and fake campaign tactic. Yesterday was ridiculous, too, hijacking programming for a narcissistic so-called press conference that laid out his campaign issues and spewed some ridicule on his GOP challengers. Some post- partisan president.

[NoGrayZone]

Oh please, the fainting starting all over again!!! Oy Vey!!

[PLD]

Fainted because of Obamas body odor...That liberal stink will get ya everytime

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

He’s such a pathetic, little man-child.

[wbill]

oh please, the fainting starting all over again

No kidding. Enough with it already. Once was stupid campaign stunt. After a handful of times, it's just old.
