"Bear-hugged President Barack"

[BY ALEXANDRA SELTZER
PALM BEACH POST

In the 24 hours, Port St. Lucie resident Scott Van Duzer has gone from a local pizza store owner to a man wanted across the world after he bear-hugged President Barack Obama Sunday afternoon....

“I didn’t know I was going to hug the guy,” founder of the Van Duzer Foundation said. “It was something special that I’ll never forget....”

The registered Republican voted for Obama in 2008 and plans to vote for him this year again.

It’s his message of change and his genuine personality that Van Duzer likes most.

“I saw it first-hand,” Van Duzer said of the president’s personality. “It didn’t feel like it was just another stop on his tour.”

Before continuing to his next stop, Obama spent almost $200 on a variation of pizza pies and left the waitresses with more than a 30 percent tip, Van Duzer said.]
