President Obama saves fainting woman at the White House

Показать описание

Barack Obama caught a woman who was close to fainting during his speech on the steps of the White House on Monday. The President was delivering remarks on the Affordable Care Act, surrounded by a group of Americans who had successfully enrolled in new health insurance plans as part of his signature healthcare law. Standing just behind the President, who was delivering remarks on the Affordable Care Act, Karmel Allison teetered and swayed backwards, taking deep breaths as he spoke. Once Obama realised what was going on, he helped steady Allison, saying: "I got you. You're okay," before she was escorted up the steps and out of the Rose Garden. Report by Sophie Foster.

Actually he turned around thinking it is just another fainting during his speech which often happens after overhearing the blonde lady whisper to the lady supporting the fainting lady, but when he turned around he realised she is pregnant, supports her middle back and asks her about it very softly as soon as he caught her so that it is not picked up by the mike and when others confirmed that she is pregnant, he said loudly on the mike "I got" and said something to ease her tension "No No you are okay" And then some self deprecating humor "This happens when I talk too long" loudly on the mike to save her from embarrassment. He was not showing off. Rather he was being extremely sensitive and thoughtful at the spur of the moment, knowing exactly how to diffuse the situation with dignity for her.

Anyone else missing Obama. He placed #9 recently, yes ahead of Clinton Reagan and Kennedy, and Trump - #44 - aka Last.

Wow there are a bunch of haters commenting below. This shows sensitivity and at least this President is not afraid to show it and thank G-d that Romney wasn't up there talking because he probably would let that woman fall and then blame her for interrupting his address.

This is ridiculous she looks like she is pregnant what is she doing there in the first place being supported by that other woman.

He looks well chuffed with himself when he gets the round of applause. You know he's thinking to himself: "Who's the MAN?!?! Yes Bee you'da MAN!! & 'Nice catch by the way' - Great line Bee, great line."
