From WTOP.com:
About two dozen people have been treated for illness during a rally featuring President Obama at Bowie State University.*
Prince George’s County Fire and EMS spokesman Mark Brady tells WTOP numerous ambulances have been sent to the rally after people started fainting and became dizzy.
The problems could be related to warmer temperatures today. Brady says crowds at the rally were outside and packed shoulder to shoulder.
Two people have been taken to the hospital so far, Brady says. The rest have been treated at the scene.
The president still gave a stump speech at the event despite the audience’s sicknesses. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Sen. Benjamin Cardin also spoke at the event.
(Editor’s note: This is a breaking update. This story may change as more information becomes available.)
*The number was updated from 15 to about two dozen.
And here‘s a flashback compilation clip of the many fainting incident during Obama’s campaign for president:

Posted on October 7, 2010 at 11:19pmAccording to what I heard today on the radio, we will be getting our mercury from the new “green” lightbulbs. If broken, they will emit the mercury within.

Posted on October 7, 2010 at 5:02pmI was about to say, maybe ABC might have a scientific explanation for this. I mean, I knew that Obama was full of hot air; but it seems like we might need to start regulating his emissions, otherwise the Earth will burn up.
