Cobbler the turkey certainly has something to be gobble gobble grateful for this Thanksgiving!

On the eve of the national holiday, recently re-elected President Barack Obama and his adorable daughters saved one very lucky turkey's life – and Breaking Celebrity News has the photos.

"They say that life is all about second chances, and this November I could not agree more," Obama joked about his hard fought re-election victory. "So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give and it goes to a pair of turkeys."

Standing alongside National Turkey Federation Chairman Steve Willardsen, the President and his two girls, Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, pardoned a 19-week-old 40-pound turkey named Cobbler as part of the annual Thanksgiving tradition in the Rose Garden of the White House.

"The only cobbler anyone's eating this Thanksgiving will come with a side of ice cream," the president quipped during the ceremony.

An alternate National Thanksgiving Turkey bird, Gobbler, will also avoid being served on a platter this holiday season.
