Is this David Axelrod’s idea, for women to swoon and Barack to toss them bottles?
There seems to be a trend at Obama rallies … women fainting. And interestingly enough the Senator responds the same way every time, almost as if … naah, couldn’t be.
Connecticut DJ Jim Vicevich did some research. In Hartford, New Hampshire, Seattle, LA, and Madison, the emotion of the moment overwhelmed them.
when a woman appeared to faint in the standing-only VIP section in front of the podium, Obama paused his speech for over a minute as he directed the crowd to make way for an EMT team and tossed a bottle of water from the stage.
In New Hampshire he reached beneath the podium top, found a bottle, and handed it to someone before they wheeled the woman out on a gurney.
Climate change, the Iraq war and Obama tossing a bottle of water to a woman about to faint all received big cheers [in Seattle]. As Obama told the crowd to part so that the woman in question could leave and called for help, a young girl in the crowd shouted out, “What a man!”
The audience roared with laughter (although the press that has seen this happen before rolled its eyes).
In LA:
A woman standing in front of the stage appeared to faint as Obama spoke about Iraq. The candidate paused and asked the crowd to make way for firefighters.One supporter shouted, “You’re a good man,” leaving Obama momentarily at a loss for words.”Well, I’m not the only one stopping to help her,” he said, sounding almost embarrassed.
Before he even got to the Madison crowd,
students were tossing around an inflatable cow above the crowd. Three people fainted in the midst of all the enthusiasm.
“This could be a really swell game,” commented the DJ. “Count the number of people on the campaign overcome by the “vapas”.
James Taranto was more serious about it:
What exactly are we to make of this? A cynic might wonder if the whole thing isn’t staged, given how often it happens and how well-honed and self-serving Obama’s standard response seems to be.
But if it’s spontaneous, that’s in a way even more unsettling. . . . .
Obama has a talent for eliciting intense emotion–an ability that can be dangerous in a politician. What more does he have to offer? That’s a hard question to answer . . .
And he could be The Man.
Blithe Spirit 
It is indeed scary and intensely frightening that Obama could be The Man. That the American people could embrace one who speaks in soaring almost cult-like rhetoric that is vapouous in content, and where promises of hope and change become whatever the swooning listeners define them to be, does not bode well for this nation. It has been said that America is the last best hope for this world, but what about the American people? As a conservative Repubican and a fellow Mitt Romney supporter, I will support and work to elect John McCain, a greatly flawed candidate, believing that McCain does represent some hope in that he would keep America strong and safe, in contrast to Obama with his emotional charged appeal that would certainly prove dangerous should he became president and Commanded in Chief. This nation need a strong leader in these trying and dangerous times. Charles Krauthammer described Obama today as a silver-tongued freshman senator who has found a way to sell hope. “To get it, you need only give him your vote. Barack Obama is getting millions.” Will American voters be enlightened when they go to the polls in November? I certainly hope so. America’s future depends on it.

Adoph Hitler could really rally those masses, and Olde Joe Stalin could make them walk barefoot through broken glasses, And Ho Chin Minn, he could bring the crowd in, and that Po Pot he know how his words could make them hot…
Now do you believe?
Now Marshall Applewhite made them think that they were going to go to Heaven on a comet, and David Koresh he sent his faithful on a path to Armageddon. And of course we all know about olde Jim Jones. His people did what he told em and that Kool-aid got overflowin…
Now do you believe? (the mesmerized crowd shouts back Yes we Believe) Now do you believe?(louder) Yes, we believe! Hallelujah now get that sister some water (the front row of women then faints).

Now do you see yourself as as Che’s Second comin… Or maybe you set yourself up on a path even higher. Perhaps you do see yourself as the new Messiah, start a new religion with you as its idol.
Do you believe?
Cults of personalities well they very rarely end well and with yours it could set the earth a trembling… For when you come unglued as all cult leaders in the end do, you could push that nuclear button and set the earth afire..

I challenge anyone to read one of this Dollar Store Savior’s speeches in cold print and identify a single novel idea or anything resembling logical and methodical exposition. Take away the sound amplifiers, the whoops from the crowds, the earnest and handsome countenance, the gestures, and all you have are phrases that thunder, the repetition of gaudy platitudes, banal sentiments, predictable applause lines. There is no blueprint for Change. The foundation he lays for hope is hope itself and that alone.
Take away the poetry, and his speeches would be drowned by thunderous snores.
