Florida pizza shop owner Scott Van Duzer lifted 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...

"I don't vote party line, I vote who I feel comfortable with, and I do feel extremely comfortable with him," said Van Duzer, who also voted for Obama in 2008...

It sounds like Mr. Scott Van Duzer is a political weather vane - not to mention gullible. Oh, well.

Well, his record can’t hold him up, so he’s taking applications for stand-ins.

"I do feel extremely comfortable with him," said Van Duzer

Kind of a queer thing to say: they just met.

I have a friend who is registered as a Republican but she is very liberal and is a pro-union, pro-Obama person. She is simply confused. She was never a republican.

That was so set-up- the idea and optics being “small business owners” love Obama.
The current theme of the Obama campaign is “You’ll love me even more”.

In another state- his running mate was “giving lap” to a female biker.

Get the message?

They (MSM, Obama campaign) are just trying to keep his name in the news as much as possible with trivial stuff. They don’t want voters to think about the important issues that really matter. Any publicity is good publicity, as the saying goes.

He’s a “Republican” who is going to vote straight ticket Democrat. Many intellectuals will say that they are Republican to prove their independence, but will consistently vote straight Democrat on all tickets.

Ft. Pierce is a city in and the county seat of St. Lucie County, Florida. I go through Ft. Pierce often for my work.

The place is just a small business in one of those open block malls that Florida is now famous for.

Democratic strong hold; kinda shows Obama as one connecting to average people which maybe his handlers are trying to build on his likability.
