I didn't count the people who attended the speech, but they filled the gymnasium of the Ehrnfelt Recreation & Senior Center. As I wrote in my story, a couple dozen protesters were waving signs on Royalton Road outside the senior center when I arrived three hours early. Other media reported "hundreds" of protesters eventually lining up on the road. I did NOT witness this. Yes, an old man on the main floor collapsed. President Obama said he fainted. Yes, I witnessed the man being carried out, followed by a woman about his age, presumably his wife. I have NO evidence that the man was a protester or that he was "removed."

If so what were the number of attendees? Did you say 'dozens' of protesters? Inside or outside of the building? Did you witness the guards/police removing the man you report as fainting? In truth wasn't the man a protester and physically removed by the President's security men? I'll tell you what, when you give only half the facts, your reporting becomes very disturbing.

Does this correspond with what you witnessed. I noticed you are silent on the size of the crowd. Your report is, however, the first one I've seen that includes someone actually fainting.
