SURPRISE, Obama did the dumb turkey pardon thing today. So now those two fowls will live out their days in uninterrupted luxury in Gitmo. Administration Cute Czar Sasha and Cuter Czar Malia were on hand because this sort of thing is supposed to be cute. But that didn't stop serious op-ed writers from criticizing him because he doesn't seem to enjoy this pointless dumb thing that is only done so America's grandmothers can get a photo of it and post it on the fridge.

Ugh! Shut up, dad.

Ugh! Shut up, grandma. You can't make Barry enjoy this. This guy really can't win, no matter what he does. NOT ALL OF US ARE RETIREES WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON OUR HANDS. SOME OF US ARE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES. GO PLAY SLINGO ON THE COMPUTER, GRANDMA. [U.S. News]
