While pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey today, President Obama absolved it with what he called a "special dispensation," making the Sign of the Cross over the gobbling turkey.
It appears that Obama made a left handed, backward sign of the cross.
It certainly appears unusual, as President Bush only laid hands on the bird in 2008

(62,444 posts)What to do with his hands has been a running gag in this ritual.
The first time out, he asked the guy from the turkey board, "Is there some form of gesture I'm supposed to make."
You know, if he'd have done it with his right hand, they'd call it a sacrilege.
This was so much more dignified:
I guess he should have had the turkey slaughtered right there while he was giving a speech:
Losers.
