Van Duzer, 46, is a big guy: He is 6' 3" tall and weighs 260 pounds. After Obama was lifted up, he said "Look at that!" Man are you a powerlifter or what?" He continued, according to the pool, talking about Van Duzer's big muscles. "Everybody look at these guns," he said. "If I eat your pizza will I look like that?" Van Duzer, by the way, is a registered Republican who voted for Obama in 2008 and says he will do so again in November. "I don't vote party line, I vote who I feel comfortable with, and I do feel extremely comfortable with him," he told the press pool.
