Default Obama: Fake Fainting Again

Quote:
The pool report on President Obama's trip to Roanoke, Virginia says that more than 20 people fainted during the president's speech this evening.

"TV viewers may have heard POTUS pointed out a couple of faintings during the rally in downtown Roanoke," writes the pool report. "In fact, fire officials say more than 20 people fell out during the course of the speech. There were waves of exclamation as one person after another swooned."

Will it work again this election year? You do remember last election when the people were fainting from the words of the savior, yes?

It only counts if he laid his hand on their forehead.

Anyway, it's an age-old thing at revival meetings. Worry about it if they start crawling around on the floor barking like dogs, or lay there going into convulsions. That would indicate a definite charisma overdose.

Never mind any speaking in tongues--that is de rigeur for political campaigns.

At Obama Rallies, Fainting Spells Resurge - NYTimes.com

Quote:
A New York Times reporter at the speech said another person had collapsed, but he could not say whether that person had fainted.

It is the third time this month that someone has fainted during one of the president’s speeches.

A woman fainted last week as Mr. Obama spoke at a Daimler plant in Mt. Holly, N.C. A week earlier, a woman passed out as Mr. Obama spoke at Nashua Community College in Nashua, N.H.

It can't be the heat, it must be the charisma.

Heh...Readerboard subtext from the Onion article...."To counter charges that he is 'too intellectual', Obama gets a degree from Colorado State University."

I fainted just from the thread title. No wait, I was conscious the whole time.
