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."

We'll they aren't the brightest string on the tree. Here the idiots hold lightning rods while Obama speaks in a thunderstorm.

"The feeling you get before you faint is a dreadful one"

When you feel light headed squeeze your butt cheeks together as tightly as you can. Real tight!

They really were, weren’t they! Especially when I was 14!

"In fact, fire officials say more than 20 people fell out during the course of the speech.

Seriously, was "fell out" the actual phrase used in the report? Where I'm from this is strictly "urban" terminology to describe fainting or passing out. It's never used as "official" language.

“more than 20 people fainted during the president’s speech this evening.”

Well then tell Moochelle to put her arms down!

What if someone has a problem with their mouth and has to use mouthwash often?

Arrested, jailed, driver license suspended (up to 3 times), mental health evaluation, driver school, victim impact panel, two days in jail, fines, ignition interlock for a year and a lifetime of grief.

“There were waves of exclamation as one person after another swooned.” WTF kinda BS is that? Is this statement intended to attract more females who vote with their genitals?

The faintings are nothing but staged, and where did you see firsthand Adolf come to power???

[Carry me back]

Staged garbage

We used to have that many people pass out standing to attention during basic training, no big deal.

BO is an entertainer.

Our country needs a President.

The Roanoke Times made no mention of people fainting in their report. Here is a link. http://www.roanoke.com/news/breaking/wb/311558

I say it was planned by the union goons who distributed the tickets.

Go back and read what I said. I basically said I was starting to realize how someone like Adolph Hitler came to power. There are too many people out there who are looking for a dictator. Look at the below photo and show me how it differs from your typical Obama rally.

The guys who like Obama are wimpy.

The feeling you get before you faint is a dreadful one.

Yeah, it feels like you are about to die. Ugh. These people are either obama plants or they are overheating. If they are fainting because of the "presence" of Obama then maybe he needs to take a bath.

The flatulence emanating from his lying pie-hole should be enough to make the entire crowd pass out.
