President Barack Obama wants to make sure all uninsured Americans know about the deadline to sign up for healthcare coverage — so, naturally, that means turning to Ellen DeGeneres for help. 
 
 Obama will appear on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show via live shot from the White House. He’ll be reminding viewers that the deadline to sign up for Obamacare is March 31. 
 
 Though he made a memorable guest appearance on the talk show when he was campaigning for president (see below for video), this will be Obama’s first time on Ellen as commander-in-chief. 
 
 To raise awareness about the healthcare deadline, Obama has also recently enlisted the aid of Zach Galifianakis on a hilarious episode of Between Two Ferns and the moms of a bunch of famous people. 

 DeGeneres—who jokingly referred to the commander-in-chief as "Michelle's husband" during her interview—also spoke to Obama about raising two teenage daughters. "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 would all take a family photo of all the tattoos," she said. 
 
 "That's exactly right," the president confirmed. "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. I suspect that would be a pretty good deterrent for both Malia and Sasha." 
 
 DeGeneres then admitted, "I hate to say it, but I hope they get tattoos. I really do." 
 
 "Ellen, you should be a part of this," Barack offered. "You should pledge to also get a tattoo with us." 
 
 The 56-year-old Finding Dory voiceover actress wasn't too keen on that idea. "If that happens I will, but other than that, I'm not into tattoos," DeGeneres explained. "I'm not gonna do that."
– President Obama is on Ellen today, and in clips the show released, he gives host Ellen DeGeneres grief about her famous Oscars selfie—because before she broke the record for most retweets, Obama was the one who held it. "I don't know if you know this, but I was aiming to break your record of retweets and I apologize for doing it," DeGeneres said. "I heard about that," Obama replied. "I thought it was a pretty cheap stunt myself. Getting a bunch of celebrities in the background, you feeding them pizza." The satellite appearance—Obama's first time on the show as president, Entertainment Weekly notes—is yet another attempt by Obama to remind people about the March 31 deadline to sign up for ObamaCare. More highlights from E!: He complained that with Michelle in China, he's "stuck with two dogs, and I'm expected to walk them, and do what you do when you walk dogs." Obama expanded on his plan to make sure neither of his daughters ever gets a tattoo: He and Michelle will get the same tattoo, in the same location. "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." He also joked, "Ellen, you should be a part of this. You should pledge to also get a tattoo with us." On politically-themed TV shows, he noted, "I watch House of Cards. I haven't seen Scandal yet, but Michelle has watched Scandal. I have to tell ya, life in Washington is a little more boring than displayed on the screen. The truth of the matter is, if you followed me, most of my day is sitting in a room listening to a bunch of folks in gray suits talking about a whole bunch of stuff that wouldn't make very good television."
