Giant Obama Fan

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 3/9/2010

Igor Vovkovinskiy, 27, watches as President Barack Obama arrives to speak on health care in Minnesota on September 12, 2009.
  The biggest Obama fan in the country is in the house.

President Obama wasn't kidding. He's talking about Igor, a real-life giant who is seven feet eight inches and still growing.

"I love this guy," said Obama.
.
When he was young, Igor had a brain tumor that caused him to grow uncontrollably. His incredible story is featured on Help! I'm Turning Into A Giant, a documentary airing on the TLC cable channel this Sunday.

Igor even wore a T-shirt to one of the president's town meetings in Minnesota that said "World's Biggest Obama Supporter."

He's a student and has to duck when he goes through the door to enter the classroom. He is head and shoulders above his fellow classmates
