Ellen Exchanges Gifts with Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is gracious enough to give Ellen a snow globe to welcome her to her new studio. Ellen gives Michelle something in return, but her gift isn't quite as well planned!

next: Exclusive Website Performance by The Jonas Brothers!

I have read a few of the comments about Ellen reading Barack Obama's comments on air when Michelle Obama was a guest. It sure is a shame that half of the comments on Michelle's appearance were about what ELLEN said and NOT anything Michelle said. I feel that we should respect Barack's feelings and not mention family at all. Evidently Ellen must not support Barack Obama, since she did not respect his wishes to leave presidential candidate's families alone. If she was trying to help the Obama's, I think it backfired, which is to bad for Barack. Ellen we enjoy your comedy and your dancing. Please stick to what you are good at. Please don't hurt Barack's campaign any further because it appears that you upset quite a few viewers. God Bless you and Portia.

Hi Ellen...Congratulations on your marriage.Yeah!!We can finally get married legally. Best wishes for a happy life with Portia. Love your show.

It is one thing to have both parties on the show, but another to make your personal political choices known. Entertainment has no place for politics, which is why Oprah is on my blacklist! Don't go down the same road Ellen.

ELLEN!!!! PORTIA!!!! MICHELLE!!!! BARACK!!!!

Way to go Ellen & Portia...congrats on your marriage. I wish you many years of wedded bliss.

Obama/Biden 08! If we don't have HOPE and CHANGE the current thinking in Washington, we will have four more years of the same old, same old!

I am sick of not having Universal Health Care, sick of spending 10 billion dollars a month in Iraq when we could be putting this money to good use in our country fixing infrastructure, and hiring more cops on the street. These are real, tangible things that need to be done in our country. "SAYING" you are for "change" (McCain/Palin), and actually trying to do something about it are two different things.

We need Barack and Biden in the White House to save our country from RUIN!

To michigangirl08 get off the high horse.

She had mcain on last season.

The problem is is that Ellen promotes herself as such loving caring person, but what she really cares about is herself. She had no right to say anything about the Palin kid, and it seems to not even phase her that she did. She cried of a dog, but had to put a young girl back into the political lime-light to get her liberal biased across. Screw Ellen! She is worse then Bill Maher. She must know by now that people want Palin on her show, but doesn't address it, because Palin doesn't push Ellen's ways. And I am tired of hearing about her Wedding, we get it you're married now. At the rate Ellen goes through partners, we will seen 8 more of her weddings by the time she is done.

I'm here at Lake Tahoe and also got tennis. How could anyone possibly think that bumping your season opener with that would be acceptable? Was this a CBS decision, local affiliates, or Charter Cable? Was looking forward to seeing the tour of your new digs. I'm chiming in with everyone else hoping the entire show will be available online.

Of course the Obamas scare me! I don't want a man running the country that I live in that doesn't have a clue. The man has ZERO experience. And he also deals with shaddy people. Wake up folks

McCain/Palin 08'

Ellen, I missed your first show of the season! I was looking forward to it and apparently it's on an hour earlier here and on a different channel this season and I wasn't aware of the change.

People give me a break....Ellen it is your show and you can have who you want on it....It was refreshing to see Michelle Obama on your show!!!! She is smart, beautiful and such a class act (people are so afraid of the power the Obamas have, they give hope, make you think and make you do your research (as you should).. by not accepting the okie dokie)!!!..I too, like others I did not get to see the whole show please make that available to us..

Congrads on your happiness with Portia!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Your so bias Ellen. I'm sick of you tv people only putting the people you favor on your show. Your viewers are not just democratic, we are republican as well. Well... were... i'm so done with your show.

hey MRS Ellen Degeneres!At last,new episodes of Ellen.No more repeat episodes.I really love Michelle Obama.Michelle Obama is a better dancer than Barrack Obama.You could have asked her a little bit of politics.I also like the Dog White House that you gave to the Obama family.Did you buy that or made to order or what?Oh yeah!I noticed that you have new DJ.I miss DJ Stricker.What happened to him?He is much funnier and all.I also noticed that you didnt dance through the sits of the audience.This show makes my day happy

Hi Ellen

You are a true icon to real American television!! You can turn what can be a bad day into the most fullfilling, fun and entertaining hour of laughs!! I look forward to that hour when your show is on that i find myself consistantly smiling and feeling lighthearted. Thank you for bringing happiness and laughs to a sometimes stressed, but happy, single mom!! Thanks for being you!!

I love Obama's Wife she seems so nice and genuine. But to some other people on here who are commenting and saying "oh *insert name here* is a cow or *insert name here* does this and that, leave them alone! Isn't your whole presidential campaign about the people who are going to be in office and how they work? not the wives, not what they do with their personal life and not their personal beliefs. It is about what policies they will put in place ad how well they are going to benefit your country. I loved Obama's speech when someone asked him about the Sarah Palin story about her daughter being pregnant. He said 'This is about the candidates and you need to leave their personal life alone'.

P.s Congratulations to Ellen on your fantastic wedding (if you read this). You are an incredible ambassador to the gay and lesbian community worldwide and i am proud as a gay man to be able to ay that you represent us. you and your wife Portia are truly a credit to modern society. AMEN!

rememeber that the cow sarah palin put her personal business out there. no one knew her or cared about the cow. so what ever is said about that family let it rest on that stupid cow sarah palin head. stop blaming everone else. we could care less that she is having a bastard grandchild...

Sorry, Michelle Obama may be a great Mom but she is clearly all about herself. She can't come close to the person that Cindy McCain is. Cindy McCain gives so much of herself to help others and this goes back to long before her husband ever thought about running for President.
Ellen...really Cindy McCain is so much more like you if you drop the politics stuff. You are both so kind, caring and giving of yourselves to help others. I agree with many others.....do what you do best keep your political views off of your show, keep making us all smile and feel good!

Hi Ellen,
Congratulations on your marriage to Portia. I wish you both the best of luck and a lifetime of happiness. Thank you for having Michelle Obama on your show. Of course there are some people who will have negative things to say because its not their canidate. I only saw bits and pieces of the interview from the clips you have online because I was at work. From what I saw, I can tell you had a wonderful time during the interview. I hope you have a wonderful season, Be Blessed Ellen.

Tammy

Mrs Ellen DeG....it was so nice to see your 1st 6th season show today! I wouldn't have missed it for the world! You are absolutely glowing! Congrats on your marriage(best wishes to Portia, too). I'm glad you had a good summer off! I am glad to see that you have a variety of guests, it takes us all to make this world turn. We need to remember that we do not always have to agree with people, and other opinions that are different than our own don't make others "bad people".I learned to share before kindergarden, I see you, Ellen, share well with others, too. I say lets drop that word "politics" people and lets share some time with ELLEN, Monday thru Friday because the show does have something for everyone! I like how you host your show and as always I like your humor! Nice place that new studio! COOL!!! Hey those Jonas Bros. sure can sing! Nice kick-off for your new season...keep dancing Ellen, I am dancing with you...ROCK ON! :)

Ellen,
Thanks for having Michelle Obama on your show. I thought the chemistry between you was great. I must say I am disappointed by the negative comments on this blog regarding Mrs. Obama's appearance today. One thing this presidential campaign has revealed is the racist sentiment that STILL exists in this country. Those of you who say you don't know Sen. Obama and are afraid of what he might "do to this country" if he becomes president should consider visiting his website, reading his books or googling him. Between the coverage he is getting on the campaign trail and the wealth of information available on the Internet, there is NO excuse for not knowing. I think the real fear is the possibility of a black man becoming president. Don't be paralyzed by ignorance. DO YOUR RESEARCH. If you still decide not to support him after doing so, at least you would have made an informed decision.


I too missed the show today, because the Tennis Tournament ran instead of the show. I was so disappointed because I have it as a season taping and sat down to watch it this evening and low and behold....tennis. I came to the site, hoping it would be online, but only these few snippets. Ellen please, please, please do something so that I can see the show in its entirety. I barely made it through the summer hiatus without you. It's so disappointing to have been so excited to see you return and end up missing it. Arrrgh. Love you Ellen
