After 10 months in office, President Barack Obama granted his first pardon — to "Courage," a turkey spared the Thanksgiving table.
Accompanied by daughters Sasha and Malia this morning, Obama honored a White House holiday tradition that dates to Harry Truman's time as president.
The president said, "Thanks to the intervention of Malia and Sasha, because I was planning to eat this sucker, Courage will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate." He said "Courage" is pardoned, "before I change my mind" and will get to live out his life in Disneyland. Obama paid tribute to the military men and women serving around the world.
