SO OBAMA MADE an unannounced stop at Big Apple Pizza in Florida yesterday as his re-election campaign shifts up a gear.

We’re guessing this isn’t quite what he had in mind when he said “I need your support.”

  If say it was tried several times a day in the form of deadly bear hugs. Bit due to his… bone structure… they were unsuccessful.

What you don’t see just out of picture is ten secret service agents with their weapons drawn shouting “put the president down slowly”!

Nobody wants to lift up Romney, That why Obama will probably beat him. Nobody likes Mitt personally

  I don’t think anyone should vote for a President based on personality… They should vote for one based on expected competence. And despite the reserved nature of Romney there are only two points between the candidates.

  Nobody likes Mitt and it will still probably be only a 1-3% difference between them in the popular vote

I’d like to see the photo taken by the person at the far table on the left, because it will show Obama’s face. Suspect the AP tog may have been outshot by an amateur on this one! Still a good pic though:-)
