"MAC AND CHEESE" WITH A SIDE OF "EYE": At the annual turkey pardoning ceremony on Wednesday at the White House, President Obama spared a pair of 48 pound turkeys from landing on the dinner table. Technically Cheese won the pardon by online votes. Mac, however, will join Cheese on a Virginia farm for the rest of their lives.The Obama girls participated in the pardoning, but appeared to be unenthused, with Sasha giving the grateful birds the side-eye. Sasha and Malia have been involved in the traditional event for years, but this time they didn't want to pet the turkey when their father asked. Perhaps the teens have outgrown the excitement. "It's a little puzzling why I do this every year," said Pres. Obama."But I will say that I enjoy it, because with all the tough stuff that swirls around in this office, it's nice once in a while just to say to say 'Happy Thanksgiving,'" he said. "And this is a great excuse to do it."
