President Obama Pardons 2 Turkeys Wednesday

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON -

On Wednesday, President Obama added Gobbler and Cobbler to the list of pardoned turkeys.

After the pardon, they went to the home of the nation's first president.

They'll stay in a specially-prepared pen on the grounds of Mount Vernon, Vt., George Washington's historic estate in Virginia.

They'll be the main attraction at a holiday festival for 6 weeks.

In a new twist this year, the White House will let Facebook users choose which bird will be the official national Thanksgiving turkey.

Cobbler was declared the winner of that poll.
