Ellen Plays Hardball With Senator Clinton

Ellen was full of surprises Tuesday. Here she interrupts one of Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign stops to ask Hillary about the big issue that has divided America for too long, "glitter or no glitter?"

Hi Ellen

Just want to say how much Ilove you and your show you make me laugh when I am down keep up the most excellent work. Now what I wanted to say was I watched your show with Hillary Clinton and I will say this she would make a great president can you just see it and we could finally say WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY LADIES. If only Canadians could vote for your presidents

Thanks for listening

Dear Ellen,

Although I am a Canadian and cannot vote in your election, I want to thank you for having Senator Clinton on your show today.

As one of our politicans said (I cannot remember which one), sharing a continent with the U.S. is like sleeping with an elephant. Your country really affects us.

As you may know, our dollar coin is called a loonie because a picture of the loon (Canada's national bird)is on the back. For the first time in over forty years, your dollar is weak enough to be worth the same or less than our loonie.

Senator Clinton is a known politican who can handle the serious situation that your country is in -- when your currency is worth less than our loonie, you know you've got problems.

So many people here cannot understand why she is being given such a tough time. She is the one who can bring the U.S. back to a position of honour and growth.

Thank you.

Ellen,

I watched your show every day until now. I can't believe you are backing Hillary Clinton. She is wrong for this country and will get nothing accomplished in Washington. I am a woman and would like to see a woman President some day, but not Clinton!

Thank you so much for supporting Hillary Clinton. I am in Waco, Texas and have early voted for Senator Clinton and just can not believe that women are not supporting the women canidate. I watched my Mom in the 60's overlooked for promotions and raises and openly told that she did not get same because she was not the "bread winner". I have witnessed repeatedly male coworkers getting better wages for no other reason than they are male. I and thousands of women have there standard of living go down over 50% due to divorce and the man's standard of living go up 25%. Wake up women. We are our own worst enemies. Thank you again Ellen.

I am with the rest of people here. Thank you for supporting Hillary, the media has been more then bad to her, they have been so obvious Obama. Just once I would like to hear about the funny suit Obama is wearing.

Dear Ellen,

I love your show. Every time I watch you on your show it makes me happy. I even end up dancing in my living room when you dance on the show.

I was very happy that you spoke with Sen. Clinton today. Thank you for having her on. It was great. You know, I bet if she becomes President she'll let you wish her a Happy President's Day. :)

love your show,

I wanted to say thanks for supporting Hillary Clinton for President, she is what America needs right now to turn our country around! Go HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Dear Ellen..
I was delighted to see you with Hillary today.. Being here in Fl we could not vote, because I am an independent.. [someone who votes for the best person, no matter what party]
Evidently the Democratic Party doesn't want our votes.. so I could not support Hillary at the primary. I really believe she is the right person to save this our United States, and balance the BUDGET. I believe it will take a woman to do that. We can't run a house on less than a balanced househole. I can't believe that all those other people have fallen for ANOTHER big talker.

THANKS ELLEN .. keep up the good work.

Sorry Ellen, I forgot to ask you, if there is anyway I can get in touch with Ty Pennington. The home that we own is in dire need of leveling and a bathroom floor, we were told we have termites in all of that area.
Moving is not a possiblity, after 30 years of paying on it, its one of the few things we own that is worth anything. My truck is an 82 Ford, my wifes car is one she won from Coca Cola during their 1984 Olmpic Sweepstakes.
By the way even though we help each other as much as we can, by doctors orders we are not to live under the same roof, so she lives in a very nice and well insulated Apt.
We do have 2 acres of land that are longer then wide. When we bought it my wife fell in love with what looks like a park. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Ellen and keep up the good work.
Best to you always,
Robert L. Myers Sr.
Loved seeing Senator Clinton on your show today.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY.THANK YOU ELLEN.

"Teacher" (no name provided), you are quick to call me a "Hippocrite" and seem to have totally ignored the content of my previous message in which I expressed my disdain for talk-show venues which attempt to disguise political endorsements as entertainment. Read it again -- perhaps a little more slowly -- and then let me know HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO "BET" on what you hastily presume is my opinion of Opray Winfrey and ANY endorsement she OR ANY OTHER talk-show host may have announced! Even though I could use the money, here's a hint: Oprah Winfrey -- Not so much ANYMORE! (I guess this means one of Oprah's "gift-givers" won't be visiting me anytime soon!)
