WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Barack Obama and his family are spending Thanksgiving with friends, family, turkey and touchdowns, as he puts it, and reflecting "on what truly binds us as Americans."

He says the country has just emerged from "a noisy, passionate and sometimes divisive campaign season." But he says in his weekly radio address that the holiday "reminds us that no matter our differences, we are still one people, part of something bigger than ourselves."

The White House says Obama made nine telephone calls to service members who are on deployment.

The Obamas' menu begins with a large list of hors d'oeuvres, shifts to a buffet of turkey, ham, prime rib and chicken wings and ends with a selection of six pies - if there's room left.

Here is the full menu, according to the White House:

Hors d'oeuvres: mini BLTsP, chicken satay with peanut chili dip, mini crabcakes, pizza bites, fresh vegetables and hummus, pigs in the blanket

Dinner buffet: thyme-roasted turkey with garlic jus and cranberry, range relish, honey-baked ham with apricot-mustard glaze, prime rib and creamed horseradish and shallot, marmalade, fried chicken wings

Sides: cornbread stuffing with chorizo and roasted peppers, oyster stuffing, braised winter greens (collards, kale, and turnip greens), macaroni and cheese, sweet potato gratin, Yukon Gold mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, fresh greens and kale Caesar salad, dinner rolls

Dessert: banana cream pie, coconut cream pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie, cherry pie

Much of it sounds like Old Country Buffet, to me.

"6 pies..."

Did anyone besides Michelle's get to have any pie?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Did Obama partake of the honey baked ham?

Just wondering, with the clear Muzzie leanings. Maybe rules don’t apply to him, so it’s no indication.

[Gaffer]

I betcha they ain’t no ham.

Let them eat cake!

LOL, you're killin me!

[boycott]

I am just glad that POS won’t be celebrating ramadan in the White House anymore.

[AFreeBird]

They hould have been forced to have Michelle Obama approved school lunches, and been thankful for it.

[maggief]

Nothing says Thanksgiving like “pizza bites”?

:o/

[Vaquero]

Lots of touchdowns and one knee national disrespect. It’s his way.

[AU72]

I guess Moochelle has canned her “Healthy Choices” campaign.

[nclaurel]

Very different than the dry mystery meat and skimpy foods Michelle wants on school menus.

[AU72]

I am just glad that POS won’t be celebrating ramadan in the White House anymore.

We've seen the last fast-breaking dinner at the White House.

I guess Michelle threw her healthy food guidelines out the window.

[Karliner]

So what’s the school lunch program menu pre/post Thanksgiving?

“I guess Michelle threw her healthy food guidelines out the window”

... of course! - to we peasants, who they were designed for, NOT the IMPORTANT people!

[Noumenon]

Gruel for the rest of you peasants.

...reflect on on what truly binds us as Americans.

Yes, let's reflect on how you've helped bind us as Americans...

• “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”
• "...it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
• “…I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
• “But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
• “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”
• “It’s very rare that I come to an event where I’m like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person.
• “I won.”
• “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower….”
• “You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest…”
• “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
• “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”
