HOW COINCIDENTAL IS THIS–THE TWO TURKEYS PARDONED BY THE POTUS BHO IN 2012 ARE BOTH DEAD

Two turkeys spared a certain death last year by President Obama who pardoned them in an annual ceremonious event are dead.

Cobbler and Gobbler, two 40-pound birds from Rockingham Country, Virginia, were sent off to live a charmed life on the sprawling historic estate of George Washington.

Sparing turkeys is a tradition that dates back to 1963, when President John F Kennedy sent that year’s gift from the National Turkey Federation back to the farm, declaring ‘we’ll just let this one grow’.

Cobbler, who, according to the White House, loved cranberries and the musical stylings of Carly Simon, was reportedly euthanized in August.

And Gobbler, described as ‘a patient but proud bird’, passed away suddenly of unknown causes in February.
