He's in the middle of a rousing speech - he sees a young ladyy that isn't feeling weel. He stops and asks if she is okay. Tells he she will be alright. Makes peeps in the audience go get her a chair and ask for an EMT in the audience to take care of her. In the middle of a campaign speech!

Sigh

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. That happens in every campaign on both sides in every election nt

[thevoiceofreason]

20. What it means is he focuses on each person

You are deplorable.

[IndieLeft]

56. That's why I have him on ignore!

[Bucky]

66. You too?

Actually, I don't know who it is you have on ignore, because I can't see his name.

Reading DU is a nicer experience with a liberal use of the Ignore User function. I've plonked out two more losers today.

[rodeodance]

58. he must have super powers

[Thrill]

60. Oh yeah? I've seen Hillary do that

and you haven't either

[rodeodance]

80. yes it does

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Just saw it

He's very attentive to his audience. :)

[blogslut]

4. Yes he is!

:)

[Bread and Circus]

3. I caught that too...it was pretty sweet.

[blogslut]

7. Wasn't it?

:loveya:

[MadBadger]

5. Happened four separate times at his Rally in OCtober in Madison.

15. And you would know, King of Spam.

[rodeodance]

24. no, SWooning.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

9. Well, I'd Fuckin Hope He'd Do That, Lest He Be A Total Piece Of Shit.

I mean, are we that friggin easily impressed here now?

:rofl:

[blogslut]

10. Did you have a nice nap?

I see you woke up in a bad mood. Now, buzz off.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

14. I'm In A Fine Mood.

You are that excited over this? It was definitely nice on his part, but I'd expect ANY of our candidates to do the EXACT same thing. Is the bar of being impressed so low for you that all a candidate has to do is show concern for a sick audience member? It's called human decency. I'd hope every one of our candidates would've reacted the same way.

Oh wait... Let me guess... You just KNOW Hillary wouldn't have done that, right? :rofl:

And please, learn how to use spell check. It would benefit us all greatly.

[blogslut]

17. weak

lame

go away

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. Someone Said In Your Other Thread Last Night That You Were 12. I Thought They Were Kidding.

Were they not? That would explain a lot actually.

I'm asking seriously. Are you only 12 like that poster claimed last night?

[blogslut]

23. Honey

They were talking about you. LOL. Read the thread again.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. Honey, You Need To Learn How To Read So That You Don't Embarrass Yourself.

They were referring to you, and I wasn't sure at the time if they were serious or not. Based on what I've seen since, I'm starting to think they might've been and I just simply didn't know I was dealing with a youngin?

So are you or aren't you?

[blogslut]

38. Yes, I am 12 years old

:eyes:

Now, ask yourself, why are you stalking a 12-year old?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

40. That's Why I Asked.

If you were an adult, I'd continue calling you out on your sheer stupidity. If you were in fact a 12 year old, then it would become crystal clear as to why you say the really stupid things that have been said, and I'd ease up on ya. :hi:

[blogslut]

43. So, you admit you're stalking me?

I see.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

46. Don't Flatter Yourself Honey.

[polpilot]

41. Obama healed her just by looking at her.....

Oh Bama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zueda]

13. Boink!

[ieoeja]

27. Agreed. The idiot in the White House might not, but anybody else would. n/t

[Horse with no Name]

30. Well it WAS King Obama

what do you expect?
They would swoon if he farted downwind.

[russian33]

12. if Hillary did that, she'd be accused of manipulating the voters

:rofl:

but with Obama, it's just being a gentleman

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

16. Ahhhhh, Then There's That...

Off topic though, something's caught in my throat...

*cough cough* 18-1 *cough cough*

[rodeodance]

18. was Obama so compassionate he teared up?

[Whisp]

25. how many tears has Hillary shed for the kids she helped rip up in Iraq?

thought so.

[rodeodance]

31. Go drop your idiotic poop elsewhere!

[Whisp]

48. whatsamatta U? want to talk about cults instead of dead bodies?

I totally agree the war in Iraq is idiotic, started by the Idiot in chief, and supported by idiots. now that's the poop.

[rodeodance]

51. Then lets talk of OBAMA and his votes to FUND the war!! funding kids troops.

[Whisp]

63. RW talking points & retorts, 101.

study harder, you aren't quite there yet. You almost got me to switch. :P

[rodeodance]

64. since when it RW to talk of obama funding the war?

[Whisp]

70. how you changed the subject from Hillary's very real and deadly

sins in Iraq to Obama's voting for funding - which I agreed with Kucinich on - don't fund.
but this is what we have now.

and of the two I think Hillary's judgement should be a little harsher. I think she should be forced to watch Iraq videos of flesh flying around and see what she has helped to wrought.

anyone who helped launch this sickening mass murder should be forced to do that.

the iraqi's have suffered far too much for far too long. Starting with Bush 1, Clinton for 8 years, Bush2 for 8 years,
and probably 8 more years if Hillary cheats her way in.

[rodeodance]

78. you missed that huh?

[Nedsdag]

32. Also, Hillary said she cares about women and children.

did she care about the Iraqi women and children who were killed in the war she voted for?

I guess not!

[polpilot]

45. Pro-war Hillary just make a mistake....voted wrong...could happen to anybody

...just last week I bought skim milk and though I'd bought 2%. It happens. Whoops..I got a war?

[rodeodance]

19. Good belly laugh btw

[NorthernSpy]

35. The Official KoolAid Flavor of the Clinton Campaign:

Sour Grape.

:beer::puke:

[milkyway]

59. actually, she did do that over the weekend, right after a CNN cut-in (odd, huh?)

You make me sad. I really thought you were better than that. I guess I was wrong.

And the Beer Demons didst flee from the maiden Tiffany, and Lo! she was exceedingly glad. And then He turned unto the throng and didst say, "We must be the Change we wisheth to see!" And they praised him, and didst shout "Hosannah in the highest! The Dead are about to play!"

[cali]

37. Did you read Bill McKibben's endorsement of him?

You really should. He discusses Obama's behavior when a similar incident happened in NH and why that's part of the reason he endoresed him. It's more complex than that, and it's a really interesting read.

47. got a link for me

Pweeeze?

49. Bill McKibben: The strange case of the swooning co-ed

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/3/9431/41821/720/448788

I’d gone to hear Barack Obama speak, the first time I’d heard him in person. It was breakfast time, at Dartmouth, and so he wasn’t in full dazzle mode. (In fact, his wife gave a better talk). But at some point in his oration, when he was going pretty strong, a college student down front swooned--fainted dead away.
Obama saw it happen, and he had people clear a space for her so that the EMT could get through with a stretcher. And then, for the ten minutes it took to get her out of there, he did something unusual: nothing.

Twice he told the crowd: ‘I can see her arms moving, she’s going to be okay. Don’t worry.’ But other than that he stood on stage, arms folded, watching intently as the medics worked on her. No nervous jokes, no drama, no crack about health insurance. For ten long minutes he was perfectly okay with not being the center of attention—with the attention being where it should have been, on the young woman on the stretcher. When she was wheeled out, he resumed where he’d left off, and it took me awhile to realize that I could think of very few politicians who would have behaved the same way. Who didn’t need to be the focus at all times.

[rodeodance]

77. don't much care as I am not into Killing the messenger

[blogslut]

53. That's what I'm talking about

He wouldn't continue until he made sure she was alright. :)

[rodeodance]

65. Are you a part of Swoon Watch Patrol?

[blogslut]

67. You used to be a lot more reasonable

What happened?

[KAZ]

68. Used to be one of the biggest assets on DU. And hopefully,

once this primary crap is over, they'll return to that.

[rodeodance]

69. I have been observing the Obambabies

[cali]

72. I've been watching YOU

a prime example of brainwashed and brain dead. But you always struck me as uneductated and ignorant.

[rodeodance]

74. perceptions are tricky.

[VolcanoJen]

39. Better change your name...

... before someone asks you to apologize twice and then be suspended.

Thanks for the good news on the rally!!

[blogslut]

42. LOL

Thank you. :)

[Critters2]

44. This seems to happen a lot at his rallies. nt

[Onlooker]

50. This is an example of the cult of Obama

Every little decent thing he does because magnified a hundred times. Any normal human being upon seeing someone suffering would pause as necessary.

Of course, if Clinton did it (and she probably has), the Obamatons would say it was a calculated moment.

Obama can still be your candidate without worshiping him. Please stop the worship. It's rather embarrassing for those of us who support him merely because we recognize he's better than Clinton, but certainly no saint.

[blogslut]

62. Look

I saw it happen live and I have never seen something like that before. I was struck by his compassion. He kept saying over and over again "You'll be okay". It was sweet.

[Horse with no Name]

73. I wonder if some of these folks will need to be deprogrammed

if Obama were to lose?
There will probably be waves of mass suicide.

[rodeodance]

79. I hope he has a fund set up for that!

[ShortnFiery]

54. Awesome!

[IndieLeft]

57. Now THAT is a President!

[girl gone mad]

75. this is silly.

most politicians behave the same way. I witnessed Kerry do it 4 years ago. Even Bush has done it.

this strange adoration isn't helping counteract the cult meme.

[mistaT]

76. Obama is getting smoked in this poll

We need to get him some votes! Come on fellow DUers http://www.dayoffame.com
