Scammy, it seems much more like a load of made up, bullshit, tinfoil hatted nonsense to me.
Occam's razor suggests a conspiracy to fake a pregnant woman's fainting on a sunny day to distract from a problematic website is far less likely to be the cause than a pregnant woman's fainting on a sunny day.
And as evil plots go, it didn't work.
Even I, mindless libtard think healthcare.gov's failure is a massive statement against the likelihood of Obamacare working.

Maybe the ladies wanted to cop a feel on the President? Seems unlikely to me, too.
Also, these "patriotic" ladies should know better to use the flag on shoes, it's in violation of flag code.
8D The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.
And of apparel, shoes seem the worst. They're filling the flag with their stinky feet and walking around. Some patriots.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Just having a pregnant woman standing behind the President was a setup. She had no reason to be there, other than to make Obama look good.
I am perfectly willing to believe that she felt faint. Standing still for long periods of time tends to cause bloodflow problems. Anyone who's ever been in the military, or in a parade band knows tricks to help, but your average person doesn't. Add to this nervousness and pregnancy, and it's entirely believable.
But who cares? The larger issue is that she was there at all. Human stage dressing.

Yeah. This is B.S. I do not think Obama is above pulling "stunts" but this seems pretty far-fetched. I've almost passed out simply by locking my knees while standing; my friend had to steady me too. That can happen to anyone.
It seems to me that the reach around was an attempt to help keep the pregnant girl steady when she noticed that she was starting to sway. All the head gesturing and talking was likely people around her trying to make sure the woman was okay without being overly distracting.
These "Lady Patriots" are really just a bunch of Obama-haters who go out of there way to make EVERYTHING look like a conspiracy of some kind. I'm not an Obama supporter but even I can't find any way to logically connect this faint to anything but bad timing.

Really, picking on nits like this is counterproductive - people concentrate on the nits and forget about the big issues.

It's likely that someone in front of him reacted to seeing her begin to fall, or he heard someone behind him that we can't hear from the podium mic.
The set-up here was to place a pregnant lady in the front row, but I really doubt that she was instructed to faint. They shouldn't have used her in any case because she was distracting, with that weird walleyed look on her face.

If she was being supported by the woman beside her, as is evident in the video, why was she teetering at all?

Even before this video with commentary I spotted this fainting as fake. It is NOT above Obama and his followers to pull a stunt like this.
Now, if we had a news media that did its job they, not us "tinfoil hatters", would be calling him out on this kind of crap.
Additionally, I think it is very telling that the first word out of Obama's mouth is *I* - "I gotcha." He didn't say whoa, or hold on, or are you okay. Nope, it was *I* as in "*I am here to save the day." What a egotistical turd.
My congress critter pulls these kinds of stunts too. I've been to his townhall meetings in which the public can ask questions (but only when his aid calls on you) and about every 3rd person is a supporter who makes anti-Republican comments instead of asking questions. What nonsense! it is so easy to spot; but the news media doesn't say boo.
Sadly, Cory Booker, Newark, NJ's mayor who just won the Senate race in the Garden State, pulls some of these same kind of stunts. i.e. saved a woman from a burning house. And the news media goes along!
So, even after Obama (Lord, How I pray for that day to come sooner) these kinds of stunts will continue as some politicians will find a willing, and even eager, media to be their cheerleaders.

He "figured out" what was going on awfully fast -- while in the middle of speaking and, presumably, from what we know of his speeches, using a teleprompter (while sounding all folksy).
Occam called to say give the pregnant stage prop a chair so she doesn't have to stand for so long in the sun.

The actions of the lady to the right of the pregnant woman are curious
When the pregnant lady begins to faint, lady to the right doesn't look left,and does not have a look of concern that her friend is fainting. That little nudge before the fainting is also curious, but could just be an accident.

Sabrina, but how did he, while speaking, psychically divine that there was a woman teetering behind him?
Either someone told him via earpiece or signaled him somehow from the audience. Or, depending on what type of cameras they were using, he saw it in the screen while he was watching himself give his speech. Or, he heard a slight commotion behind him and turned to see it just as it was happening.
Additionally, I think it is very telling that the first word out of Obama's mouth is *I* - "I gotcha." He didn't say whoa, or hold on, or are you okay. Nope, it was *I* as in "*I am here to save the day." What a egotistical turd.
Yeah. Poor choice of words on his part. He likely had to act quickly and wasn’t thinking but I think that it’s in those emergency moments when someone’s true character tends to come to the forefront. In this situation, he saw a woman fainting and did the right thing by helping, but at the same time, he likely unintentionally made it about “him” with that “I gotcha” commentary. That speaks more to his character to me than the fact that just seconds before he was lying out of his both sides of his face. He’s always lying so that's nothing new.
I just can’t buy that this particular incident was staged. I can believe the fact that he and his people WOULD stage something like this, but I don’t believe it was in this case. Now, do I believe that he’ll use it to his full advantage PR-wise? Absolutely.

Typical Obama theater props. Designed to make O appear compassionate and caring, a gallant gentleman rescuing a frail woman: "I gotcha". A metaphor for ACA. Clever lies. To cover failure. This admin's signature achievement. I once asked a slick "friend": If you're right, why lie? Remember when Meathead asked Archie why he lied? Archie's answer: "Cuz the truth wasn't working so well".
