For the BOG. Popcorn gets a reprieve. What about Carmel?



Obama and his daughters brave a wet and windy day to pardon turkeys at the White House.

Barack makes some humorous remarks, even made a comment about 'less fortunate turkeys.'

There is a mention of Carmel running for the honor next year. Was he pardoned, too?

It seems to me, that Obama is the first president to pardon more than one turkey a year.

I'll leave out my thoughts on the turkeys in Congress at this time.

Hell. I will give my opinion of the congressional turkeys...

Forward! President Obama Wins Second Term! America has chosen a democracy with a President of the people and for the people... AND ...America has rejected a plutocracy ruled by billionaires who are catered to by Republican Koch-sucking stooges in Congress and a "Rubberstamp Romney" in the White House. We endorsed the re-election of President Obama and the ouster of every Republican member of Congress and celebrate the results of the November 6, 2012 election as a victory for America and the American people.

They wrote their history. They built it they damn well own it, and it's time to make them pay for it, freshwest.

DOA 2014! Vote them out.

We need action and activism. I can not afford much in terms contributions for campaigns.Yet I will do what I can to make it happen.

Let's give them the bird in 2014!

I just found the sight and put it in my favorites!

GOTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But you do realize that it's all your fault now for giving me yet another online hangout? That place is addictive! Horses and politics. I'm hooked at first glance.

They really have grown.

I remember that one, the President awkwardly touched the turkey and said "you are pardoned." Now he's an old pro.

Especially not when so many of them managed to cheat the poor out of Thanksgiving dinner.
