President Obama campaigned in Central Florida today as part of his two-day rally throughout the state.
While visiting a pizza shop in Ft. Pierce however, Obama got a bigger lift than expected. Scott Van Duzer, the pizza shop owner, managed to bear hug Obama, lifting him nearly a foot off the ground.
After seeing the owner Obama commented “Let me tell you, you are like the biggest pizza shop owner I’ve ever seen.” After the two men chatted for a second, they went in to embrae each other, leading Van Duzer to power-hug Obama off of his feet. Obama continued to joke saying things like “Man, are you a powerlifter or what?”
Van Duzer told reported the Secret Service had no problems “as long as he didn’t take the president away.”
The entire event was heart-felt and fun, as Van Duzer kept a smile on his face the entire time and onlookers enjoyed the presidents visit to the 16 year old business.
