It'll be interesting to see how the republicans get themselves worked up over Obama pardoning the turkey. You know someone on Faux Noise will make a snarky comment.

him back in the bush error.

From your link..

"On a day when we pause to consider those things for which Americans ought to be thankful, I feel obliged to mention my appreciation for many of the things that Barack Obama has accomplished as President of the United States, and my profound relief that he is in the Oval Office rather than any of the Republicans who sought to displace him."

Mahalo WinstonSmith and Happy Thanksgiving to you.. nice Treat!

President Obama's executive orders and threat of impeachment:

Words to this effect that in President Obama's first presser after midterms, he essentially warned the Repukes that THEY were now locked in the room with HIM, not the other way around.

That's what I'm thankful for - that one way or another, sooner or later, we shall overcome.
