President Obama named Popcorn the National Thanksgiving Turkey at the White House Wednesday.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
After pardoning the turkey, he had it cooked. You thought he told the truth?
Why do they pardon the turkey? It will die soon anyway, being loaded with steroids.
0BAMA is the national turkey...
He issued the pardon then gave the sign of the cross to bless it
Unfortunately, the unpardoned ones are still on staff.
I’m always kind of hoping some president will bring out
an axe, chop it’s head off and start plucking...
I think I was affected in my youth when an instructor
in Escape and Survival taught us at Camp Pendleton.
He walked out with a little bunny in his arms, it’s
little nose twitching, and said “The first thing you
have to do to have rabbit stew is, KILL THE RABBIT!”
And with that he slammed it by the back legs against
a tree and proceeded to dump it’s guts out and skin it.
A lesson I took to heart after not eating for two days
and living on rattlesnake meat.
“Why do they pardon the turkey? It will die soon anyway, being loaded with steroids.”
Is that anyway to talk about our new ACA?/sarc
Did Obama promise Popcorn that if he liked his head, he could keep his head?
Both these creatures need to be kept out the rain to prevent drowning while staring at the sky.
I don’t remember Amy, Chelsea, or the Bush girls fidgeting and looking so uncomfortable/bored when they were out in public with their fathers. Even the turkey was more calm on the table.
..once again he acted like a 12 yr old.
I agree.
They accepted votes on which one to be pardoned, probably had to make a donation to vote.
‘then gave the sign of the cross ‘
I saw that, too. I found it rather insulting as if Obama thought himself a Pontiff.
Hi Freekitty! :0)
It was embarrassing.... I normally can’t watch any of them for one second, but I couldn’t turn away... At least the older one smiled, but the younger one (and not *that* young!) was quite fidgety.
I was surprised to find out it was a white turkey.
