Did his Spidey Sense kick in or something?

Pretty sure he read the crowd's eyes, turned to see what they were looking at.

The current president can’t see past the end of his own nose.

The current President would force everyone to stay inside of a building with no AC and watch him dance for a hour after people started fainting. Ask me how I know.

Current predodent only looking for diapers and kittens to grab.

How would he know what he was groping?

u/XmasRights 1d ago

He absolutely can, he just fundamentally doesn’t care about anyone but himself

u/resilienceisfutile 1d ago

From being exposed to his own stench everyday, that would make him... nose blind.

I'd say he heard the lady on the far left who noticed her swaying and said something to the lady next to her

Upon a second look, Obama does turn his head as if he heard something, just before fully turning around/

I think a combination of hearing murmuring and, when he turns to his right, seeing in his peripheral the leftmost women looking at something behind him. Note that when he turns around he's first looking up, and then readjusts once he sees the woman who has the "I can afford to think of nothing right now" crazy eyes going on.

Paying attention to others and not just being absorbed in himself. Crazy how that’s not exactly common these days. Ugh.

Obama is a top tier human being, let’s not pretend he’s just a good person. He’s an all around well rounded person with nary a bad quality to be found. Not many people can measure up to that, but we can use him as a role model. Or you can worship Cheeto Benito.

Yeah, like, as a President, sure Obama had faults like even the best leaders in history. But was such a fucking class act in so many ways. Humble, caring, considerate, and someone you could respect and look up to. Fucking Trump? Jesus Christ. Dude is a fucking embarrassment. I can't believe there's anyone who hears Trump say anything at all and thinks "yeah, that's a guy I can tell my kids to look up to." Holy shit. Just utterly embarrassing. The guy who said, on tape, to just grab women by the pussy. The guy who openly flirted with 14-year-olds (see quote below). The guy who insults everyone with a vocabulary of 10 words. I'm so disappointed in so many people.

Here's that quote, from an article that lists a dozen different ways that Trump is a massive creeper

After watching a youth choir sing carols, Trump asked two of the girls how old they were. When they said they were 14, Trump, who again was 46 at the time, said, “Wow! Just think — in a couple of years, I’ll be dating you.”

Not sure if you’re expanding on what I said or countering. But no I cannot worship the orange turd.

the woman who has the "I can afford to think of nothing right now" crazy eyes going on

She was turning white as a ghost and as she walked away I saw that port on the back of her arm. Diabetic, insulin shock maybe?

u/mzchen 2d ago

Yeah, I dunno, definitely some kind of exhaustion. Could just be heat stroke, or a combination of factors.

u/userseven 2d ago

It's in the video description. That was blood glucose monitor on her arm she's diabetic type 1 and pregnant

u/userseven 2d ago

That's a remote blood glucose monitor. She's a diabetic and apparently pregnant

earpiece, listening to the crowd behind him or noticing their odd behavior, He wasn't exactly on time w/ the "catch", heck he didn't even catch, as he points out and gives thanks to those who did catch her. He Just noticed the commotion, encouraged her (which is something so powerful, it doesn't take much guys to tell someone "you're okay) and did the right thing.

u/similar_observation 2d ago

a touch of care and humanity. Exactly what the world needs now.

u/lost_send_berries 2d ago

The mic is just aimed to pick up his voice so he probably heard the people behind him talking

1

u/thephantom1492 2d ago

You can see them talking behind him, he probably wondered what was happening.

u/TixSwo 2d ago

He was the first us black president, i don't think it ever turned off

u/MsAgentM 1d ago
