Here's some video of Sen. Barack Obama after he notices a fan in the crowd had passed out at his event with Oprah Winfrey in Des Moines.
The senator didn't attempt to take credit for the hour's excitement, instead citing his predecessor to the podium: "This is what happens when folks get too excited about Oprah."
UPDATE: Obama's staff says the woman is fine, that the Secret Service came to her aid and that she just needed some water.

Why is there almost always some gal fainting at an Obama speech?
Could it be some kind of set up? *GASP!* No, politicians like Obama are too honest to do something like that!

Politicians suck, and those that want your vote suck even louder.

Let's hope someone's not setting up distractions for a later evil purpose...
Does anyone have names of the fainters?

Yes because none of that sounded the LEAST bit scripted...
