On Thursday morning's "Ellen," Michelle Obama gave her very first live interview since she left the White House a year ago.
And in just the first few minutes on air, Michelle couldn't help but tell a BIG lie about Melania Trump, and "The Gift."
If you recall, on the day of Donald J. Trump's inuguaration, Melania Trump graciously presented a present to Mr. Obama -- from Tiffany's in New York City.
It was a lovely gesture. But you wouldn't have known it from Michelle -- who didn't seem pleased at all. In fact she acted like she had been handed a bag of dog poop...
No gratitude. No thanks. Just a horrified Michelle trying to get rid of it.
Well Mrs. Obama finally had an "explanation" for her infamous reaction, and told Ellen quite the story...

The Mooch probably has trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.
Starting with Hussein's birth.
Except she lied on "Ellen" that gift giving wasn't protocol and she wasn't prepared for it. Here she is presenting Laura Bush with the same event gift.
The Obamas can be described with one word: déclassé.
I would have opened it up right on the spot.
I dislike the O’bamas as much as anyone, but I think we’re reaching on this one. Michelle was not expecting to receive anything and had nothing to offer in return, which is always awkward. And on top of that they were there for a photo shoot and I think she was trying to find someone to hold the gift so they could all line up and take the picture.
If we are you going to be pissy about the pettiness of the Left when it comes to the Trumps, we need to be equally careful in our own attacks on the opposition.
Flame away
Michelle has been living for decades with a pathological liar. Maybe it’s rubbing off.
In my world a nice hard framed journal beats the hell out of a box of chitterlings and corn bread, ANY DAY!
You’re forgetting that she gave Barbara Bush a gift when the horseshoe was on the other foot.
Unexpected? Dint know what to do? The voters had just rejected them. She was being a ****.
Michelle Obama gave Laura Bush a journal for her memoirs.
She would have been accurate with that thought.
I suspect she was looking down on her.
What she did was very rude.
Handing it off to the Marine was definitely a fleeting thought when she turned around, looking for somewhere to dump it. At least it looked that way to me. I’m glad that Marine held the salute!
Peach
Had the same thought. She acted like it was a live grenade.
I’ve about had all I can stand of the hoodrat Obamas.
They can go straight to Hell.
Why is that subhuman parasite still wasting oxygen ?
When are they not lying? To act that way when receiving a gift is typical for ungrateful jerks.
Two completely different circumstances, I believe. She did look totally surprised at Melania’s gift. When she gave her gift to Laura Bush, is it possible that it was a completely different situation? It does not look like it was going to be a photo op. Anyway, there are many, many, many, more things to criticize about the Obamas than a minor social faux pas. Rush even talked about it this morning, and I think it makes conservatives look petty and needlessly critical.
