Jamie Foxx Says He Won't Enter Politics But Would He Make A Good President?

Jamie Foxx told Politico this weekend that though he plays the president in "White House Down," a film due to come out next week, he has no interest in the "polarizing" world of real-life politics.

"You can't get anything done, so I would rather be on the outside," he said at the film's D.C. premiere.

"I would be taking a whole lot of vacations and there would be a whole lot of afterparties," he added.

Foxx's co-star, Channing Tatum, also said he prefers make-believe.

"Everybody just spins everybody else's words and it's frustrating," Tatum said.

Foxx may not be heading for the White House in real life, but he did share his stunning view of the historic building on his visit to the nation's capital.

Foxx, a boisterous backer of President Barack Obama, ignores the fact that Obama is known for his penchant for leisure time.

Not only does Obama regularly invite mega-stars to The White House for lavish soirees, his appetite for golf is unquenchable and he routinely takes vacations that set the country back millions.

The latest case in point--the upcoming "working vacation" to Africa which some media outlets say will cost taxpayers a cool $100 million.

Meanwhile, his new film is causing some controversy.

"Everyone loves a good action drama. Still it's troubling that the film 'White House Down' exploits America's 9/11-born fears by showing us those events we most dread: destruction of beloved Washington D.C., landmarks, near-annihilation of our elected leaders, and a vicious assault on our freedom-loving way of life," says Alice Hoagland, mother of Mark Bingham, who died aboard United Flight 93.
