Barack Obama
Related: About this forumFor 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.

(87,312 posts)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 really have grown.
I remember that one, the President awkwardly touched the turkey and said "you are pardoned." Now he's an old pro.
