President Obama Pardons Turkey
U.S. President Obama waved his hand over Courage the turkey Wednesday, pardoning the bird from being the guest of honor on someone's Thanksgiving Day table.
"I hereby pardon Courage so he can live out his days in peace and tranquility" in Disneyland, where he also will serve as grand marshal Thursday in the Orlando, Fla., theme park's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Obama said he was showing mercy to the 45-pound bird at the behest of first daughters Sasha and Malia because "I was planning to eat this sucker."

I suppose it would have been most fitting for him to eat it alive and raw, since the media got the vapors over the turkeys being killed in the background of a Palin interview last year.
That was the funniest video ever. She fired some people over that one for sure!!!!! We have not heard about it but I bet someone got the pink slip that day.
This is the closest Obama will ever be to having courage.
