Pres. Obama pardons Thanksgiving turkey

Posted by ConnPolitics.tv Editor on November 25th, 2009

(WTNH) - With his daughters at his side, President Obama Wednesday pardoned a turkey named ‘Courage’ at a traditional White House Thanksgiving event.

“Thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha – because I was planning to eat this sucker – ‘Courage’ will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate,” the president said. Instead, the bird will live out its life at Disneyland.

I understand he wrestled many days with this decision. He asked for more options but Biden finally decided to pardon it.

I'm just shocked he was finally able to make a decision.
