NEW YORK (AP) -- As the quest for the First Dog continues, Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx thinks he's come up with the perfect solution for the President-elect and his family.

"A pit bull," the entertainer said.

"(I'm) trying to pick out Barack Obama's Christmas puppy right now, so we're working hard on that," he joked. "I think I'm going to get him a pit bull, we just got to keep it street."

Foxx made the comments after performing at the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting in New York last week.

"I'm just celebrating Barack Obama (and) celebrating the new president," he said.

Obama's presidential win isn't the only thing the Grammy-nominated singer is celebrating. Foxx is also gearing up for the release of his third CD, "Intuition," in stores December 16. He calls it his "best work ever."

"I got the best of Timbaland, the best of Kanye (West), The-Dream, the best of Lil Wayne (and) the best of T.I.," he said as he rattled off some of the album's top collaborators.

"Intuition" is Foxx's follow-up to 2005's "Unpredictable," a platinum CD that hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts. Foxx says that he's asking Santa for the same gift this year.

"For Christmas, I definitely want another No. 1 album," he said.

1. He already got rid of one after the election.....

..... now there's a dangerous stray on the loose in Juneau.

2. Actually, the stray is in her Wasilla kennel collecting per diem

4. Pit bulls are smarter. And nicer. And more loyal.

I bet McCain was wishing he'd picked a nice dog as a running mate. Probably would have interviewed better.

3. So dog fighting is a joke ?

I am old enough to remember when Jamie Foxx was funny.

Prosecute dog fighting.

9. who said anything about dog fighting?

[babylonsister]

5. I didn't even know Jamie Foxx sang (except as Mr. Charles).

I love dogs, but I'm staying far out of this one! :popcorn:

I think the Obamas will pick the perfect dog-for them.

6. They have a pit-bull

His name is Rahm Emanuel.

13. They have two ends - choose just one

:rofl:

[brentspeak]

11. It's already agreed amongst everyone that this is the best kind of dog for them:

(Supposedly, the Obama girls have voiced their preference for a Westie).

[Maccagirl]

12. OMG I need an insulin shot now

I think Westies are the cutest thing going-if I could have a dog where I live that would be the one.

[liberal renegade]

14. cute as can be.

but lets not forget, they're terriers. That little westie will have holes dug all over the whitehouse lawn. verminators who love to dig!
