Obama to Pardon National Turkey Wednesday; Birds Set to Live at the Mount Vernon Estate
Are you #teamcaramel or #teampopcorn?
President Obama will pardon the 2013 National Thanksgiving Turkey this Wednesday, and just like last year the public gets their say in which turkey they want to save.
In one corner, we have Caramel, a 38 pound male who has a “quick, clear, and frequent,” gobble, according to his profile from the White House.
In the other corner is Popcorn, a 37 pounder whose favorite food is corn.
