Oct. 21 (Bloomberg) -- As President Barack Obama addressed the Affordable Care Act at the White House Monday, an Obamacare user standing behind him started to faint. "This happens when I talk too long," Obama said. (Source: Bloomberg)

dude. she was pregnant. totally understandable. turning food into a human is very taxing.

[Garium]

Trump would have could her "disgusting". Oh, how much funnier the world would be with Trump as the president.

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.

All that lying would make anyone faint

[knowspin]

"I gotcha"?...that's our problem Obama, you got us alright and it's painful...

[ERIC-]

She ain't in expepectations on a long talk. :-D

[bioletsmakeiteasy]

Now let me pause, cue applause. God, I hate politics.

[mrgoodtime]

FAKE!! These people were placed there.

[lloydmal]

Tin foil comment struck a nerve. I'm just saying what's wrong with supporting our president. Aren't we all in this together. Go USA !?

The white house casting department rounded up the background actors from the soup kitchen before they get the soup. Cost savings measures.

I believe it, I went to a military school and during the longer parade formations, we'd always have someone pass out. Usually from locking their knees while standing for a long time.

[mrt-krsg]

You guys seriously think that was staged? 1) The woman was pregnant 2) People in the crowd were probably making weird gestures as to what was going on with that woman which caused the President to turn around. Can't something nice happen without people bashing it!?

[SaintNapa]

What? Why were they clapping in the end?

[funderder]

She probably just realized her child on the way didn't have a future to look forward to.

[Shifazerra]

Let’s compare Obama to Trump:
Obama: respect
Trump: ehh....

[pyrosmerf]

BS!! He somehow seen her behind him....This makes no since. Pregnant or not, it's the way he reacts to something he COULD NOT see.

[letsplaysunleashed]

I mean, you can think this is staged if you want, but I would say your distrust for the government has gotten to the point that its just unhealthy. Really wasnt that big of a deal xD

[BowArrowcraft]

Yeah, she probably locked her knees while standing, which constricts blood flow inevitably creating a lack of oxygen in the brain.

[frymastermeat]

I scrolled down... god help me I scrolled down...

[Schmittr]

Went to a private military college, happened a lot during the longer parades. Need to bend the knees every once in awhile to keep the blood flowing.
