Obama Visits Ellen
President Obama, while taping an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show†that will air Friday (watch here), said that he doesn’t really miss campaigning except for one aspect of it: Getting out of Washington, “which can sometimes be depressing.â€
“Well to get out of Washington or what part is depressing?†DeGeneres asked.
“Well, Washington,†he said, drawing some laughs at the deadpan delivery.
Obama was in Los Angeles on Thursday for an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show†and a pair of fundraisers in Hancock Park, before spending the weekend in Palm Springs.
He also talked about gay rights, saying that “one of the things I’m proudest of because my whole political career has been based on the idea that we constantly want to include people and not exclude them.†He praised DeGeneres, telling her, that “changing hearts and minds I don’t think anybody’s been more influential than you on that. I really mean it.â€
