President Obama pardoned a turkey — and a spare — at a White House ceremony Wednesday.
Cobbler the turkey emerged victorious in nationwide poll against another turkey, Gobbler, in a twist to the annual tradition.
“They say that life is all about second chances, and this November, I could not agree more,” the president said during the Thanksgiving Eve Rose Garden ceremony, where he also spared runner-up Gobbler from someone’s dinner table. ”If Cobbler cannot fulfill his duties as the official White House turkey, Gobbler will be waiting in the wings.”
