Here's Obama turning around mid-speech to catch a fainting pregnant woman
This is an amazing photograph.
And what a stark contrast it presents with the picture in the post. Thank you for including this picture.
Here's video of it too. "I gotcha. You're ok. (to microphone) This is what happens when I talk too long"

Notice how he didn't rant about himself being "a hero" or bring this up again later, how he "saved a pregnant woman single handedly". No, he thanked the people around him.
And turning to grab her "here you go, you're ok, I'm right here, I gotcha, you're ok" and to microphone "This is what happens when I talk too long"
Obama is familiar with the signs of women going weak in the knees in his proximity.
He wasn't perfect, but damn if he wasn't cool. I miss the way things felt under Obama.
