President Obama, Seen Here Showing "Disrespect" To A Small Business Owner
Over this past weekend, President Obama was in Florida on a two day bus tour. One of the places he stopped was at the Big Apple Pizza & Pasta Italian Restaurant in Fort Pierce, because the owner set state records for blood donations. He was greeted enthusiastically by that owner, Republican Scott Van Duzer.
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 he’s at the mercy of the pizzaman.
Van Duzer has a broad smile on his face, and a woman in the background has a look of sheer surprise. Reporters lined up on the other side also had a clear view of the lift.
Afterward, a reporter at the scene reported that Van Duzer, 46, from Port St. Lucie, stands 6-foot-3 and weights 260 pounds, and he can bench-press 350.
“Everybody look at these guns,” Obama said, pointing to Van Duzer’s chest. “If I eat your pizza, will I look like that?”
“Look at that!” Obama exclaimed after Van Duzer put him down. “Man, are you a powerlifter or what?”
Obama told reporters that he stopped at the restaurant because the owner has set state records for donating blood.
“Here’s an example of somebody who is doing well, but he’s also giving back. So we just want to say how proud we are of him,” Obama said. “I still wonder how he got these biceps, but what we know is that the guy’s just got a big heart along with big pecs. So we’re very proud of him, and we just want to say thank you for all the great work.”
Even though Van Duzer is a registered Republican, he voted for President Obama in 2008 and says he will vote for him again in 2012.
As it happens a lot these days, sadly when news of this spread to some Republican Party faithfuls, they quickly turned on Van Duzer.
They're attacking his Yelp profile and voting down his business in order to convince people that it's not a reputable business, and ultimately hurt the small business owner financially.
All because he hugged the President of the United States.
Here's an example of what they're doing to him on Yelp, a site that's supposed to rate how well the man operates his business:Well.. I'd eat there but after seeing the owner grab our leftist President I felt compelled to disrespect his establishment as much as the President disrespects our constitution. Shame on you Scott Van Duzer for thumbing your nose at all the small business owners this President has disrespected for the last four years. I guess you DIDN'T BUILD IT!
I hope you're prepared for many more Yelps like this!!! Maybe you weren't thinking, or maybe you are the only liberal pro Obama business owner, who knows.. but you won't get mine or anyone else's business for your treachery.Let me recap. Democrats boycott your business because you used the proceeds from your business to take away their civil rights, such as the Mormons did in financing Prop 8 or Chick-fil-A did in financing officially-designated hate groups. Republicans boycott your business because you got excited to meet the President of the United States.
The man set records for blood donations, which many benefited from, maybe even a few...gasp...Republicans, and he's a small business owner, which we're told every day by the Republicans must be put on a pedestal because they create jobs.
The only problem here is, oops, this small business owner happens to have voted for President Obama, and had the gall to hug, then lift the President up in front of God, the media and everyone. Who cares if he's a Republican? He is now banished from the cult.
Every week or so, we hear Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan declare that President Obama (the fictional one only they can see) is running the most "divisive, negative campaign we have seen in our lifetime."
Yet the President drops in to praise a Republican business owner for doing a public service for the greater good, and now the man is demonized for hugging the President and showing his admiration and respect, not to mention voting for him.
It's no wonder the Republicans are doing so badly and fast becoming the unpopular dinosaur party.
What would you expect when you're the Party that wants to govern a country where you hate almost everyone in it?
Can't get much more divisive than that.
