Oh sure, he’ll pardon the turkey now. But what you don’t know is that next week Obama will have it secretly assassinated.

You know, I’d really like to see the whole turkey pardoning thing go away. It was never really a very good schtick in the first place, and it’s way outlived its sell-by date. But of course that’s impossible now. If Barack Hussein Obama decided to end the tradition, it would be yet another sign that he hates everything that makes America great, despises our great Christian traditions, and wants to bring Sharia law to the United States. So thanks to Glenn Beck & Co., we’re stuck with this dumb tradition for at least another six years. Thanks, guys.
