Fainting Spells Resurge at Obama Speeches

Fainting Spells Resurge at Obama Speeches


For the third time this month, someone fainted during one of President Obama's speeches, the New York Times reports.

"Fainting spells have come over people during Mr. Obama's speeches since at least 2008, when he was campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination" but he "appears to have gotten used to it."

In New Hampshire last week, Obama said, "Folks do this all the time at my meetings."

Such a cut-up, this Prez is!
