The White House has caught Hunger Game fever with a competition of which Turkey will become the White House Thanksgiving Turkey: Caramel or Popcorn. To assist the President, we have our own poll below on who is the biggest Turkey this year.
The White House however has decided that Obama will not assume the status of President Coriolanus Snow and require one Turkey die. Both will be pardoned but only one will prevail. I vote for Popcorn, but the race is close.
As for our own poll, who should be selected as the greatest Turkey this year in Washington:
Of course, the problem is that we keep all of the Turkeys in Washington who have little to fear from citizens and consumers alike.
One will be pardoned and the other will be vaporized by a drone.
What, no Ted Cruz as turkey of the year?
Dredd, I never would expect you to quote Bear Bryant. You are a Renaissance Man.

All you duopoly lemmings please take notice, it’s nice to have more than 2 choices, isn’t it!
======================
You are a duopolymath dood!
So, I voted twice for every candidate on the list.
I am like Coach Bear Bryant who was extremely fair … “he treated the whole team, each member, like garbage.”

You can vote more than once. Not necessarily a good attribute for a poll to have.
=========================
Yep.
JT is most of the “President Obama” votes. 😉
I went with Kathleen…. You are only as good as your staff…..

Swarthmore,
I like your idea! Cruz has to be near or at the top of the list.
Got a no account cousin in the joint, no problem, he can vote too.
Your dead relatives can also vote.
lotta, It’s operated by a Chicago polling company.
The ‘Turkey’ in the Oval Office, is our biggest problem now.
You can vote more than once. Not necessarily a good attribute for a poll to have.
For whatever reason Ted Cruz has been left off the list, so I will write him in.
May I submit a write in vote?
If so, my vote goes to Senator Ted Cruz.
Considering the stats, looks can be deceiving but I give dispensation to Popcorn anyway; you just know Caramel is a bada**.

Randyjet for the things people hate this president for, or are disappointed with him about, he has done a lot. Just announced this am housing prices have risen and are now 13% then even last year. The economy has returned and unemployment down (not enough for sure) but just think of Boehner had ever bothered to offer veen one jobs bill. Given the obstructionism this president as faced, unprecedented from what I understand, it is amazing that he has been able to do anything for the country and yet he has.
For those voting for Obama, I have to say that he is the best turkey I have ever had as President. After he was elected, I got my job back because of cash for clunkers, and my wife finally was able to get health insurance thanks to Obama care when they established the pre-existing condition health care plan. The only President who had a more direct effect on my life was LBJ and Vietnam. I MUCH prefer this one. This Obama turkey sure tastes GREAT to me, and millions more once the ACA gets rolling.
“turkey” is too kind for all of the above.
I’m surprised. Holder got my vote since this is a law blog and he has been consistently a violator of the Constitution. However, I now realize the poll includes more than just the commenters here. I would like to see Holder’s votes rise as folks here go to the polls.
