President Obama granted his first pardon to 'Courage,' a turkey spared the Thanksgiving table. The White House holiday tradition dates to Harry Truman's time as president.

  • Fox news is reporting that the turkey he pardoned was muslim.

  • It doesn't matter about politics, or whether you like him or not. He's pardoning a turkey, which is one of the silliest traditions a president ever has to do.  He did it with all the grace this event deserved, and threw in a humorous anecdote.

  • Courage the cowardly turkey :)

  • @cuditastic the people who own the means of production are the uper class not the middle class...

  • lol caring more about turkeys than prisoners/casuallties of war, ridiculous!

  • I know it's only twenty years old, but this is one of my favorite presidential traditions.

  • Fifteen people can't differentiate between politics and fun traditions.

  • I searched for an overview of this tradition of pardoning turkeys that goes back to President Truman. It's good to find at least one thing to like about the current president. ;-)

  • Study some Macro Econ...it's demand side now. Obama's a really great President.
