President Obama delivers pizza to volunteers at his campaign office in Williamsburg, Virginia today. via Getty pic.twitter.com/mQAIBO83
Mr. Obama took a break Sunday from studying and engaging in mock sessions with his staff at a five-star waterfront resort here to deliver pizzas to one of his nearby campaign offices and make a couple phone calls to supporters, just as he did while preparing for his first debate in Henderson, Nev., two weeks ago.
If youre not on the phone take a break, Mr. Obama said quietly as he entered a room where campaign staffers were making phone calls.
He then took a seat between two women and picked up the phone. Im gonna do my work, he said, adding: Everybodys so serious!
Mr. Obama called two supporters from the campaign office while reporters and photographers were in the room. He thanked them for their help with his re-election effort and asked one woman to keep him in her prayers.
The president also gave a campaign staffer a lesson in using an old-fashioned phone.Like this he told her, pushing a button to show her how to dial. We actually still have old style phones at the White House, he said. I dont believe it, the woman replied.

I can't make it out from the picture. But hey, who can resist pizza, well, other than Pizza Hut, Domino's and that "Pizza Pizza" cardboard place.

Honestly, it would be really sad. You'd have to drag me away from him.

and President Obama being on the other end?! I was almost overwhelmed just being across Grant Park from him four years ago! Those are two lucky voters!
