The President also recognized that as Americans, we gather together this Thanksgiving to lift up those who need a helping hand, letting us move forward as a country and lead us to a brighter tomorrow.

Exclusive;President Obama Pardons"Popcorn" the National Thanksgiving Turkey



Exclusive ; President Obama Pardons the National Thanksgiving Turkey
President Barack Obama pardons the national Thanksgiving turkey Wednesday as part of an annual tradition that dates back to the Kennedy White House.

Obama will pardon Popcorn, who won out over his rival Caramel in a public vote over which should be pardoned by the president. (Both turkeys will ultimately be spared the fate of ending up on someone's plate this Thanksgiving, but only one will receive a ceremonial pardon from Obama.)
