....Obama pardoned the national Thanksgiving turkey with a smile on Wednesday, but he admitted before saving the bird from it's likely demise that he found the decades-old tradition somewhat "puzzling."

"It is a little puzzling that I do this every year, but I will say that I enjoy it because with all the tough stuff that swirls around in this office it's nice once in a while just to say, 'Happy Thanksgiving,'" he said.

Except opening the peoples house to Ishtafar (?) Ramma Dama Ding Dong and Muslim crap he knows.

Bo!..the "Bathhouse" E'Bola's pet dog 🐶 is terrified..the bird 🐦
got a pardon and he's still there on Thursday. 🍗

[peteyd]

No,you’re not the only one to see this as something blasphemous.

[Borax Queen]

And his “daughters” look surly at the ceremony each year. The older one finally smiled at Barry yesterday, after he finally put on a smile (because he was done with another tradition he does not get).

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

He’s done that before. Makes me sick.

Come now it is difficult for a Muslim to have anything to do with a bird. It has to Halle (Muslim purity right> I think this year I will have some Belgian tripe or Chitterlings sent to the WH. Wonder how Obama will like Pork.

Traditional or not, pardoning a turkey is rather stupid on the face of it.

Worst job in the country: presidential turkeys #3 and #4. You get no publicity, no chance to make the Secret Service yell "bird!" after you get in one desperate peck. Instead you are just beheaded, plucked, gutted and roasted off-stage.

[Common Sense 101]

True insight into this narcissistic POS - He questions the reasoning for a long-standing tradition, therefore it has no validity.

[JayAr36]

We do know why he pardons the turkey don’t we?

PROFESSIONAL COURTESY

[OldSmaj]

...obama puzzled...

So what?

The dumb shit is always puzzled.

[onedoug]

He pardons it with the Sign of the Cross?

islamist jackass.

[Political Junkie Too]

Did Obama apologize to the turkey?

He hates Thanksgiving because he thinks we stole America from the Indians. He just said that Americans don't have the right to keep the country for themselves.

[surrey]

Pardoning the turkey is about as much as he’s qualified to do.

[JayAr36]

He only hates it because he can’t find a way to lie about it.

[rockrr]

Naturally, as an outsider he wouldn’t understand American traditions.

[silverleaf]

If Congress passes his bill, 11 million turkeys could be pardoned

"It is a little puzzling that I do this every year, but I will say that I enjoy it"

Because I'm supposed to say I enjoy it.
So I'll say I enjoy it.

But I don't enjoy it.

[Carriage Hill]

The next 2 years are going to be worse than the previous 6.

[virgil]

he hates tradition in any form.

Especially if it's an American one.

taught in a muslim school in Indonesia, attended a church in which the pastor called upon God to damn America. This is what we get. Look fir him to celebrate openly the next islamic holiday.
