(Nov. 27) - We might have some clue as to what kind of dog the Obamas are going to get. President-elect Barack Obama revealed during a recent interview he apparently doesn't want a "girly dog" in his White House, according to Politico.com.
ABC News' Barbara Walters drew the confession out of Obama when she brought up her tiny charmer, Cha Cha (short for Cha Cha Cha).

"It's like a little yappy dog?," Obama asked.
"Don't criticize," said Obama's wife, Michelle.
"It sounds kinda like a girly dog," Obama later said. He pledged the family would "have a big, rambunctious dog of some sort."
ABC News posted snippets of the interview, which included discussion of the economy and how to get kids to keep doing chores in the White House.
