Last year, a little girl fainted while Arnold Schwartzenneger was making a speech. He paused and walked over to help the little girl. The media loved it (it was even reported on BBC), and couldn't resist saying he was a "real action hero."
Given Obama's love of theatrics and the fact that he has repeatedly used Governor Patrick's speeches as his own, who knows? Maybe someone in his campaign thought he would look like a real hero, calm and collected, if they staged these things? I would not be surprised.
