Two things:

1. Obama has hated this little ceremony ever since he seized power. If you find video from the 2009 event, you can see he despises doing it.

2. I think he is scared of these animals. Look at the video from this year....he keeps his distance. If a Republican acted so skittish around the birds, the media would definitely take notice and wonder if he had a phobia.

Not every tradition is a good idea. If I were President, I’d discreetly butcher the turkey and point out to the nation that all work is dignified and no one should be above it.

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

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).

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.

[Common Sense 101]

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

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

...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.

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.

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.

Bathhouse Barry will have absolutely no problem pardoning the crook turkeys in his administration.

[catfish1957]

but he admitted before saving the bird from it's likely demise that he found the decades-old tradition puzzling

Because Obolo's traditions are deeply entrenched in his African roots. You are not one of us.

Its easier to teach goats to surf then for Obama how an umbrella works.

Uncool umbrella operation

All this for a bird!? Next year my co-president and I will have issued an EO mandating tofu turkeys for the greater good. That is all, peasants.
