"This is my seventh year pardoning a turkey. Time flies," he said, before the punchline.
"Even if turkeys don't."
Obama pardoned Abe, whom he deemed the "TOTUS" - Turkey of the United States.
But if something were to happen to Abe, another turkey - Honest - is supposedly ready to serve in the "TOTUS line of succession."

Obama, standing next to his daughters, Sasha and Malia, cracked up as Abe gobbled at him:

He took time out to thank Sasha and Malia for 'once again standing here with me.' 'They do this solely because this makes me feel good,' he said.
