David Spade calls First Lady and President Obama 'thirsty' for frequent television appearances

David Spade is taking issue with the Obamas’ many television appearances, which includes First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama often appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and late night shows.

Spade caught up with TMZ’s cameras in California this week and accused the president of being “a bit thirsty” because of these television appearances.

“A president should have a little more dignity," Spade said. "I realize Woodrow Wilson went on Dancing with the Stars once. But what president is doing reality shows? It just seems weird to me."

It wasn’t just President Obama Spade had a problem with, he also quipped the First Lady is “on Ellen more than I am.”

Spade did point out that perhaps he just hasn’t adapted to the changing times. "It's just a new world, I'm not used to it,” he said.

Ahead of Spade’s comments to TMZ, he tweeted about President Obama’s appearance on Running Wild with Bear Grylls. “Why is Obama on Bear Grills trying to survive in the tundra?” he wrote. “Isnt the idea to keep the prez alive? And why is he on a reality show?Wtf ?"
