Speaking to students in Ohio today, President Obama encouraged the students to sit down, because he was “going to be talking for a while here.”

“Those of you who don’t,” added Obama, “Make sure to bend your knees because some people faint, fall down.”

“Not because I’m so exciting, but just because you’ve been standing for a long time,” he joked.
