Lots of turkeys in my 'hood, but none are white, or obese.

“This turkey has earned a second chance to live out the rest of his life comfortably on 1,000 acres of open land, complete with a barn called the ‘White House on Turkey Hill,’ ” Obama says as the ceremony gets underway. “Which actually sounds pretty good!”

The left's wet dream - the president gets to personally decide who gets to live a life of leisure with zero contribution, AND it's at the expense of the life and livelihood of others, ALSO he gets to choose who dies and pays for it, too.

Not surprised also that a Dem president did pick an old white bird to get the benefits. And likely all the other turkeys of various colors will applaud his decision and vote for him - those that live through to next year.

that's probably plenty of cynical analogies to last me for awhile

Uhhh... You do realize that the turkeys are selected and presented by a Washington turkey producers lobby group right?

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

Mmmmmm, so my stereotype rant goes a level even deeper - nice.

Big Turkey pulls all the political strings

If we are going to be racist shouldn't he have given a pardon to a (fried) chicken and not a turkey?

I'd rather you didn't use the word "we" for that particular post if you're responding to my post.

My analogies were about political hypocrisy, not racism.
