You are so right.

And there are medics at rallies just to help people like this. Speakers are instructed to call attention to the problem for them to know and just continue on.

There are medics at McCain rallies too, only they're not there for the audience, they are there for the speaker... McCain could keel over at anytime.

A real leader would have stopped the speech and went out and made sure she was being taken care of.

The heartless scum bag didn't care about her, he just wanted to keep on repeating his speech to no where !!

A real caring person would have made a much wiser choice.

Thanks for showing us you do not care Barry!

And the sad part is the EMT's said not one single Obama official even took the time to check on her.
I saw it all....he got the EMT right away and got her some water...she just fainted from the heat! Why are you making a big deal out of nothing...George Bush killed almost 5,000 soldiers in Iraq not including innocent women and children....it is in the thousands...so look who is talking...you just stuck you foot in your mouth big guy or girl!

Even people on this very forum have passed out at political events, as you can see on the second page of this thread:

So now it is 5,000.

I didn't say why she fainted, the point is the idiot kept on talking.

Is that all you got!!
