This afternoon President Obama visited the FBI in DC and spoke to an enthusiastic crowd gathered outside. (No word on how many of the surrounding roofs were lined with security.)
Shortly after he began his speech, he stopped and said, "Did someone just faint? Right there (points) I think someone just fainted. Is there -- is there an EMT somewhere? (pauses) Okay, give him some room, give him some room. This used to happen a lot on the campaign trail. And most of the time, all they need is a little water and some air. People would be gathered outside like this, waiting, and then I'd start talking and talk too long, and people would start dropping left and right."
Then he continued his speech. One can only assume that he had to stifle the urge to rush down and help.
No word on what happened with the fainter, but I assume that he was in good hands.
