"And so it is guys, everything will be fine", he continued, granting leniency to two white turkeys, Peanut Butter and Jelly. The president went on to joke that the two lucky birds were chosen in the "presidential turkey primaries" based on "their temperament.their appearance and, I suspect, their vaccine status.
