David Spade on Obama Family: Believes POTUS, FLOTUS Should Have More “Dignity”

As the Obama Family begins to wind down their time in the White House, comedian David Spade has come out stating that he believes the POTUS Barack Obama and FLOTUS Michelle Obama should have more "dignity" and stop appearing on so many reality TV shows.

TMZ recently caught up with the comedian and author of Almost Interesting in one of their many "let me interrupt your evening" bits and asked the Joe Dirt star about his remarks surrounding the President's appearance on Running Wild with Bear Grylls.

"I criticized Obama because I thought, you know, a President should have a little more dignity," Spade said, adding, "What president is doing reality shows? It's just a little weird to me."

Why is Obama on Bear Grills trying to survive in the tundra? Isnt the idea to keep the prez alive? And why is he on a reality show?Wtf ? — David Spade (@DavidSpade) December 14, 2015

After the discussion of Running Wild, Spade announced that he didn't agree with Obama's recent GQ magazine cover and stated that the President should "leave that to Bradley Cooper."

And as for Mrs. Obama, well, the comedian also appears to find it bizarre that she appears on so many reality TV shows.

"Michelle Obama's on Ellen more than I am. It's just a new world, and I'm just not used to it. It seems a bit thirsty." Spade later noted that he believes all of the media attention is merely to set themselves up for after the White House.

Perhaps we should mention that Michelle Obama was recently seen on Project Runway Junior. Sorry, David Spade.
