  • - WE'RE BACK WITH THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,

  • BARACK OBAMA, WHO'S JOINING US FROM THE ELLEN BLUE ROOM

  • AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

  • [cheers and applause]

  • MR. PRESIDENT, IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE WE'VE SPOKEN.

  • YOU LOOK GREAT. HOW ARE YOU?

  • - I AM DOING GREAT. YOU LOOK WONDERFUL ALSO.

  • - WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT.

  • YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO JUST BECAUSE I SAID YOU LOOK GOOD,

  • BUT THAT WAS NICE OF YOU.

  • - IT IS TRUE.

  • - I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS,

  • BUT I WAS AIMING TO BREAK YOUR RECORD OF RETWEETS,

  • AND I APOLOGIZE FOR DOING IT,

  • BUT I BROKE YOUR RETWEET RECORD.

  • [cheers and applause]

  • - I HEARD ABOUT THAT.

  • I THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY CHEAP STUNT MYSELF,

  • GETTING A BUNCH OF CELEBRITIES IN THE BACKGROUND.

  • - THAT'S THE ONLY THING--

  • - YOU FEEDING THEM PIZZA. - YEAH.

  • SO THE FIRST LADY'S IN CHINA.

  • HOW IS SHE DOING?

  • - YOU KNOW, SHE HASN'T LANDED YET,

  • BUT THE HOUSE IS ABANDONED.

  • I'M STUCK WITH TWO DOGS,

  • AND...

  • I'M EXPECTED TO WALK THEM

  • AND DO WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU WALK DOGS.

  • BUT I THINK THEY'RE GONNA HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME, THOUGH.

  • THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TO CHINA BEFORE,

  • AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO TALK TO YOUNG PEOPLE--

  • THEY'VE ACTUALLY MET WITH STUDENTS

  • HERE IN THE UNITED STATES WHO'VE MADE THESE TRIPS BEFORE

  • AND HELPED BRIEF THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY SHOULD SEE,

  • AND IT'S GONNA BE A WONDERFUL EXCHANGE,

  • AND HOPEFULLY BECAUSE OF THIS TRIP,

  • THEY MAY BE ABLE TO INVITE SOME CHINESE STUDENTS

  • BACK TO THE UNITED STATES AS WELL.

  • - THAT'S AMAZING.

  • YOUR DAUGHTERS-- HOW ARE THEY DOING?

  • I MEAN, THEY'RE GROWING UP SO FAST,

  • EVERY TIME I SEE A PICTURE OF THEM,

  • AND FIRST OF ALL ANSWER THAT QUESTION, PLEASE,

  • AND THEN I HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT THE TATTOO THING

  • THAT YOU TOLD THEM.

  • - WELL, THEY ARE DOING WONDERFULLY.

  • YOU KNOW, MALIA, SHE TURNS 16 THIS SUMMER,

  • WHICH IS A LITTLE SCARY.

  • - WOW. - AND SASHA'S GONNA BE 13.

  • AND THEY'RE DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL,

  • AND THEY'RE SMART, AND THEY'RE FUNNY,

  • AND THEY'RE KIND,

  • AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ATHLETIC,

  • AND SO I REALLY HAVE NO COMPLAINTS,

  • EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT INCREASINGLY

  • THEY DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME FOR ME.

  • YOU KNOW, I AM JUST--

  • I AM NOT THAT INTERESTING.

  • THEY'RE NICE ABOUT IT, THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY STILL LOVE ME,

  • SO THEY'LL COME IN AND THEY'LL PAT ME ON THE HEAD AND KISS ME,

  • AND THEY'LL SAY, "OH, DADDY, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH,"

  • AND THEY'LL TALK TO ME FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES,

  • AND THEN THEY'LL SAY, "WE'RE GONNA BE GONE ALL WEEKEND."

  • - THEY'RE VERY BUSY.

  • - SO THAT'S MAKING ME A LITTLE SAD.

  • - WELL, AND I BET.

  • LET ME MENTION THIS.

  • I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE HEARD THIS,

  • BUT YOU MADE THE MOST AMAZING COMMENT

  • ABOUT IF THEY WOULD EVER GET A TATTOO,

  • AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD STICK TO THIS RULE.

  • IF YOUR DAUGHTERS GOT TATTOOS,

  • THAT YOU AND MICHELLE WOULD ALSO GET THE SAME TATTOO

  • IN THE SAME PLACE AND YOU'D ALL TAKE A FAMILY PHOTO

  • OF ALL THE TATTOOS.

  • - THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.

  • [cheers and applause]

  • WE WILL REDUCE THE COOL FACTOR OF ANY TATTOO.

  • MICHELLE AND I WILL BE RIGHT THERE,

  • AND WE'LL POST IT

  • SO THAT EVERYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT,

  • AND WE'LL SAY, "WE ALL GOT MATCHING TATTOOS."

  • AND I SUSPECT THAT WILL BE A PRETTY GOOD DETERRENT

  • FOR BOTH MALIA AND SASHA.

  • - I HATE TO SAY, BUT I HOPE THEY GET TATTOOS.

  • I REALLY DO.

  • - ELLEN, YOU SHOULD BE A PART OF THIS.

  • YOU SHOULD PLEDGE TO ALSO GET A TATTOO WITH US.

  • - YEAH, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT?

  • IF THAT HAPPENS, I WILL,

  • BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I'M NOT INTO TATTOOS.

  • I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT.

  • LET'S ALSO TALK ABOUT-- YOU WENT SHOPPING.

  • I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN DO THIS,

  • BUT YOU WENT TO A MALL AND YOU SHOPPED AT A GAP RECENTLY,

  • BECAUSE YOU WERE PHOTOGRAPHED SO I KNOW IT'S TRUE.

  • - IT HAPPENED. - IT HAPPENED.

  • YOU WENT TO THE GAP, AND YOU WENT SHOPPING.

  • HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME--

  • - WELL, HERE-- HERE'S THE THING.

  • WE WERE ON A TRIP TO NEW YORK,

  • AND THE GAP ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE GONNA MAKE SURE

  • THAT ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES AT LEAST GOT PAID $10 AN HOUR,

  • SO THEY'RE INCREASING THEIR WAGES

  • FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

  • AND SINCE WE'VE BEEN SAYING THAT AMERICA DESERVES A RAISE,

  • AND WE SHOULD PROVIDE A MINIMUM WAGE OF AT LEAST $10.10 AN HOUR,

  • I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT FOR ME

  • TO BE ABLE TO GO FREQUENT A STORE

  • THAT'S DOING RIGHT BY THEIR EMPLOYEES.

  • - GOOD FOR YOU.

  • - I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

  • [cheers and applause]

  • - GOOD FOR YOU. THAT'S FANTASTIC.

  • THEY SOLD A LOT OF THOSE SWEATERS THAT YOU BOUGHT.

  • I UNDERSTAND THOSE SWEATERS THAT YOU BOUGHT SOLD OUT,

  • BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTED TO WEAR THE SAME SWEATERS

  • THAT YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE WEARING.

  • - WELL, I THOUGHT THEY WERE PRETTY NICE SWEATERS,

  • AND MALIA AND SASHA, THEY DID NOT SCOWL

  • WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN, WHICH WAS A GOOD SIGN.

  • I MEAN, THEY DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SAY, "EWW, THAT'S TERRIBLE."

  • - WELL, YOU HAVE A FAMILY OF GOOD TASTE.

  • - I HAVE NOT YET SEEN THEM WEAR THEM,

  • BUT I'M HOPING THAT I MAKE THE CUT.

  • - WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM WEAR THEM ALSO.

- WE'RE BACK WITH THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
