As he does every year, President Barack Obama has pardoned another turkey.

Meet “Cheese,” a turkey from Cooper Farms in Oakwood, Ohio. He gets to live to see another day. “Cheese” was officially pardoned by the President after the White House took to social media and asked America to decide which turkey—”Cheese” or his compatriot, “Mac—would be pardoned this year. Get it? “Mac & Cheese?” Heh.

America decided the victor to be “Cheese,” whose gobble is described as “loud” and “romantic,” with a “country ring in it.”

On the day before Thanksgiving each year, the President pardons a turkey. Why? The Post tried to figure that out. “It is a little puzzling that I do this every year,” Obama said, with a hint of existential sadness in his voice.

If you’re getting as sick of the tradition of the Presidential turkey pardon, and all of Obama’s lame dad jokes, you’re not alone. Sasha and Malia, from the White House press pool report, seem to be tired of this whole charade:

Both girls looked less than thrilled to be there, particularly when the president finished his brief remarks and turned to the actual pardon, telling them to approach the bird as it was lifted onto the table. “Come on, girls,” Obama said.

Until next year, Cheese. Until next year.
