President Barack Obama disses the selfie queen on the Ellen Show. They were talking about the host's Oscars selfie, which broke the record for having the most retweeted photo. For those who don't know, that record used to belong to the U.S. president.
DeGeneres apologized to Obama for breaking his record for having the most retweeted photo. But the president jokingly said, "I thought it was a pretty cheap stunt myself, getting a bunch of celebrities in the background, yeah. You feeding them pizza, yeah."
Maybe the president needs to redeem himself by gathering all the politicians for a selfie and feeding them pizza too. That will be an awesome sight to see and could even probably break Ellen's record.
Barack Obama's main goal for visiting the Ellen Show was to promote his health care project since the enrollment for the Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges will close in less than two weeks.
CNN reported the president saying, "If you don't have health insurance right now, you should go on HealthCare.gov and especially all the moms out there who may have young people -- 26, 27 -- don't have health insurance but they think they're invincible and nothing's ever going to happen to them."
Ellen DeGeneres also asked Obama if he watches the television series Scandal (ABC) and House of Cards (Netflix). The president admitted, "I have to tell you, life in Washington is a little more boring than displayed on the screen." He added, "If you followed me, most of my day is sitting in a room, listening to a bunch of folks in gray suits talking about a whole bunch of stuff that wouldn't make very good television."
With the president's wife Michelle Obama away for a goodwill trip together with the rest of the family, the host asked Obama how he is dealing with being alone. Ellen said, "Did you make your bed this morning?" Barack answered, "That would be no." The president added, "And when she's out of town, things get a little slovenly around the house, socks everywhere."
Seeing Barack Obama on the Ellen Show and talk about more than just politics is a fresh of breath air. Here's a clip of that interview:
Do you think the U.S. president can regain the record of having the most retweeted photo someday?
