Does anyone know what the medical emergency was that briefly stopped Obama's press conference Friday?
It lasted a few minutes and Obama asked for the White House doctor to be sent for.
There was a brief camera shot of some people leaving through a side door and I thought one looked like Bill Press.

The room was absolutely packed, shoulder to shoulder. This type of environment often makes some people feel ill. I trust she recovered with the medical attention she so promptly received.
Obama has a cool head and a compassionate heart.
