What kind of dog should Barack Obama get? All of America seems to have an opinion – and Kerry Washington is no exception!

The actress – who is good friends with the Illinois Senator, and even celebrated his victory with him in Chicago – has been campaigning for the First Family to adopt a Shorkie (a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkie).
