Man spontaneously bear hugs Obama (video)
USA
In Florida on Sunday, Scott Van Duzer, a 46-year-old, 1.9 metre tall (6ft 3in) man gave Obama a bear hug, raising him off the ground as Obama marvelled at the man's strength.
Van Duzer owns the Big Apple Pizza and Pasta Italian restaurant where Obama stopped during a Florida bus swing. He also runs a foundation that helps collect blood for the ill and has received White House commendations for his work, Reuters reports.
As he entered, Obama admired Van Duzer's physique: "The guy's just got a big heart, along with big pecs."
Of his embrace, Van Duzer said: "I was overwhelmed when I saw him". Despite being a registered Republican, Van Duzer said he voted for Obama in 2008 and said he would do so again later this year.
