Here's what the Obamas are having for Thanksgiving dinner

“We go all out on pies. We don’t play with pie.”

HE MAY HAVE pardoned two turkeys yesterday at the White House, but today, US President Barack Obama showed no mercy to the “thyme-roasted” bird on his dinner table.

In keeping with Thanksgiving tradition, the family had turkey, ham, a range of stuffing, and more varieties of pie than you knew existed.

Here’s the full menu, as shared with journalists by the White House:

To be fair, Obama did do some work today, handing out food at a service event in Washington DC, calling members of the US military stationed abroad, and delivering the traditional Thanksgiving video address.
