U.S President Barack Obama helped a pregnant woman by catching her when she began to sway and black out during his speech at White House.
Barack Obama was talking to many beneficiaries of Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) on Monday, 21 st October in White House. He was explaining about the different ways (e.g contacting call center) for buying the healthcare insurance if they find any difficulty in accessing the website Healthcare.gov. He was talking around 20 minutes. A pregnant woman standing behind Obama started fainting at the end of his speech. Barack Obama immediately helped her by catching her.
“This happens when I talk too long,” Obama joked.
People.com says “Looks like President Obama has eyes in the back of his head.”
The pregnant woman Karmel Allison , tweeted afterward she began fainting because she is pregnant and diabetic. She thanked the president for catching her.
I’m ok world- just got a little lightheaded.Thanks, @BarackObama for catching me! And good thing this pregnant diabetic is pregnant 🙂

You will see in the following video that the pregnant woman is standing with a friend who is holding her hand with her arm wrapped around her waist. That is until she starts to “faint”. Then she steps slightly aside and never even looks at the women she is holding. She smiles a nervous smile for the camera because she has done her part in this extremely poorly orchestrated drama.
