Rally goer just fainted at Obama rally in Philly

Pres Obama called for EMS help and had the crowd bend their knees several times and encouraged them to drink water.

It's hot; it happens. Handled just right. The media should be ashamed of themselves for their ignorance.

I remember it happening a couple times at his and Hillary's rallies in 2008. Standing out in the heat for a long time can make people faint. And most people don't wear business suits and body armor to attend rallies.
