Have you ever waited in line for hours, having had to skip lunch to do so, be dehydrated b/c security made you throw out your drink, and then been crammed into an overheated facility at capacity with a few thousand people? Well, if you haven't, don't assume the people who have fainted because they're soooo starstruck with Obama. All the reports involved dehydration/overheating as the cause. I have been to a rally and there are tons of people of all ages, and most of them seemed pretty chill and sane to me. People were excited, but this was no Beatles/Hannah Montana concert. Second, do you honestly care to hear about Obama's accomplishments? If so, you can read extensively about it without me taking up ten paragraphs to start listing.

That is just not a fair accusation.
