(171,059 posts)"In this key swing state, Obama stopped at Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Italian Restaurant, where he was greeted by owner Scott Van Duzer, a muscular man dressed in a gray T-shirt and matching athletic shorts. Van Duzer was so smitten by the president that he embraced him in a bear hug, leaned backward and lifted the 6-foot-2 president a foot off the ground. Photos of the moment show Obama with his arms spread wide and palms turned upward, as if to say hes at the mercy of the pizzaman." - Washington Post, 9/9/2012

"The president then approached Van Duzer, 46, of Port St. Lucie, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 260 pounds. Everybody look at these guns, Obama said, pointing to Van Duzers muscles. If I eat your pizza will I look like that?

. Van Duzer, who said he played basketball, football and baseball in high school, said he is a registered Republican, yet voted for Obama in 2008 and plans to do so again in November.
I dont vote party line, I vote who I feel comfortable with, and I do feel extremely comfortable with him, Van Duzer said.
Of the Secret Service agents possibly flipping out over Van Duzer lifting the president of the United States, he said: He said I was all right as long as I didnt take him away.
