Obama Skyrockets after ‘Ellen’

Barack Obama visits with Ellen DeGeneres today via satellite from a campaign stop in Texas, and says his poll percentages were in a slump until he “busted a move” on the comedienne’s show, adding, “My poll numbers skyrocketed after that!”

“Extra” got an inside look at who the man behind the campaign curtain really is, and Barack talked about smoking -- and his personal pillar of strength, his wife Michelle -- who has been helping him kick the habit.

“I’ve been able to stop,” he told Ellen , after beginning to chew Nicorette gum, adding, “That’s an example of my wife making me a better person.”

Ellen then asked the beaming candidate what his first day in the White House would be like. Barack answered, “I think I’ll just go into the Oval Office and sit at the desk and say wow, this is really cool.”

Have to agree with Skye on this one. Hopefully Americans will learn from our last mistake and vote for someone with experience. I will grant that he’s a great speaker, but I won’t be voting for him. Besides…I can’t stand Oprah!!! I can’t think of anything worse than having to watch her for the next eight years.

Smart move on your part Obama. Don’t say what you’ll do on your 1st day. Keep that to yourself, not open for discussion. I like your style, you cannot discuss what the future President of the United States will be doing on his first day in office…just do it! :-)
