Obama feels the squeeze - now call security:
The Daily Mail ^ | 9-10-12 | "Reporter"

Full title: Obama feels the squeeze - now call security: President gets bear hugged off his feet by fan on same day he reveals Romney's health care will cost retirees $60k more

President Obama got a lift on the campaign trail today after a visit to a Florida pizza shop.

Scott Van Duzer, owner of the Big Apple Pizza, is clearly a fan of the president after he lifted him off the ground in a manly bear hug to show his appreciation.

Obama could not contain his delight as he laughed heartily with the pizza shop owner after he was finally set down on the ground in front of shocked customers and some of the President's staff.

He used his time in the all-important state of Florida to draw fresh attention to Medicare, seizing on an election-year issue that's been more favorable to Democrats. See the video below

President Barack Obama, right, is picked-up and lifted off the ground by Scott Van Duzer as the pizza shop owner shows his appreciation in Florida

Many more "interesting" photos and a video at the source, including a negative snap of Romney. No bias at The Mail!

OMG! He looks like a rag doll being lifted off the ground. Can you imagine Reagan or Bush or W or Nixon allowing this? Harry Truman? JFK? Johnson?

Ordinarily, the person receiving this would wind up with his back flat on the mat.

What’s he doing visiting a PIZZA parlor? I though he and Michelle were into health foods. Pizza is one of the most fattening foods on the face of the earth. Oh wait, I forgot; they make the rules for everyone else but don’t abide by them.

Can you say staged photo op? Gives the impression that he loves small business owners when we know he doesn’t. We’re onto your deception again. I guess he believes that the American people are dumb enough to believe this phony crap. Well maybe the under 40’s.

If it was real he would have had both hands around Obama’s scrawny neck.

The press were all there.

Standing in the shadows behind the chair barrier!

They all got the story they were promised.

What is it that possesses people to pick up the Obama's? I don't think that anyone has ever picked up a sitting President or First Lady, but this year, it has happened to each of them.
