President Barack Obama a solid foot off the ground in a
bear hug during an unscripted stop at his Fort Pierce,
Fla., store. Literally.
So what did the Secret Service think about Van Duzer —
a registered Republican who says he'll vote for Obama in
November — hoisting the president? "He said I was all
right as long as I didn't take him away," Van Duzer told
reporters.
Obama, wrapping up a two-day bus tour through Florida,
dropped by the Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Restaurant for
the kind of unannounced visit that breathes life into
sometimes dreary campaign travel.
"Scott, what's going on, man," the president called as he
arrived. "Let me tell you, you are like the biggest pizza
shop owner I've ever seen."
"Everybody, look at these guns," Obama said as he
chatted with Van Duzer, who is 6'3" and weighs 260
pounds. "If I eat your pizza will I look like that?"
"The two men laughed. They embraced. Van Duzer lifed
Potus a good foot off the ground," according to the pool
report filed by Politico's Reid Epstein... Try this on a local
government chairman in Nigeria and see...
