President Barack Obama helped a pregnant woman who began to faint during his speech about health care reforms today, joking 'That's what happens when I talk too long.'
Mr Obama reached out to catch prospective Affordable Care Act beneficiary Karmel Allison who was standing directly behind him as he discussed the glitches of the new healthcare website in the Rose Garden of the White House.
Around 25 minutes into the speech, Ms Allison became unsteady and started to lose consciousness. At that point, the President turned around and helped catch her before she actually fainted.
'I got you. You're OK,' Mr Obama told her. The woman was escorted away for medical assistance as the crowd applauded.

Ms Allison later tweeted: 'I'm ok world- just got a little lightheaded.Thanks, @BarackObama for catching me! And good thing this pregnant diabetic is pregnant :)'

The prop was placed where the camera angle was perfect.
Did he mention his full term abortion plan coverage to the young lady while he was out it.
I had to snicker at that one...
Just a word on behalf of the woman...being preg. and standing in the sun can cause fainting...I had a few close calls when preg. while taking holy communion and couldn’t kneel, had to sit....it also happened at times during mass. Had 5 kids in 7 years so it seemed I was always preg. LOL
