Because, as we will no doubt hear a few times in the next months, “I won”:
President Obama pardoned Cobbler and Gobbler, a pair of turkeys from Virginia, on Wednesday in the White House Rose Garden, taking part in the annual presidential tradition and pageantry.
Joined by daughters Sasha and Malia, the president jokingly began his remarks with references to the recently concluded presidential campaign.
“They say that life is all about second chances. And this November, I could not agree more,” said Obama to slight laughter. “So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give, and it goes to a pair of turkeys named Cobbler and Gobbler. The American people have spoken, and these birds are moving forward.”
Buzzfeed points out that the “one more gift” crack is referencing Romney’s comment to supporters about Obama voters receiving “gifts” before the election.
Amazing that the president could apparently politicize a totally non-political tradition.
He debases everything he touches.
Well, he’s self-confident, that’s for sure.
No. 1: Get a life.
No. 2: If he weren’t self-confident, he wouldn’t have the job.
We should give Barry a break. He didn’t stick it to Bibi on his first opportunity.
Get your head out of your anus and get back to watching cartoons.

Now and always a juvenile delinquent.
Nasty little creature.
Hey, Bob Abrams: Snarking on a defeated opponent has never been a sign of confidence; strutting and bullying (which is what it is) has usually been taken as a marker of insecurity. Just FYI.
Obama has been busy pardoning the Turkey for some time, much to Erdogan’s satisfaction.

What makes you think this is the final one?
BHO is a jerk.
You can take the boy out of the campaign but you can’t take the campaign out of the boy.
