"The Lift" has over 336,000 "likes" (and climbing every second) on Obama's FB page!

Scott Van Duzer's excitement and President Obama's reaction is giving everyone the warm fuzzies!

There are over 15,000 comments! Of course, a few Repukes posted slime, but the overwhelming majority of people LOVE that photo and think it shows how down to earth our POTUS is. "Man of the people" has been said a lot!

What should have been a typical campaign stop turned into campaign gold! You can't plan stuff like this and you certainly can't fake it. It's spontaneous and real ... something Rmoney won't ever be.

This guy wasn't merely being polite by showing some enthusiasm because the President visited his pizza parlor - he was ECSTATIC that THIS President visited his pizza parlor!!!

It was such a wonderful thing to see! It's nice to know there are Republicans in this country who haven't been transformed into "Repukes" after being consumed with hate and rage. It gives me hope.

I love him.
