The actor, who imitated Barack Obama at the We Are Once kick-off concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, seemed ready to portray the President-elect.
"Oh, I don't know," Foxx tells Usmagazine.com at the Declare Yourself event at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. on Sunday. "He's going to do his own movie for the next four to eight years."

He added: "It's going to be incredible."
Foxx, who recently began discussing politics on his Sirius radio show called The Foxxhole, tells Us that his listeners have responded to Obama's message.
"He straightens us up, but he straightens us up cool, even when he walked out today," Foxx tells Us. "Just the way he talks. He never gets excited, even when he was going back and forth with Senator McCain. He never raises his voice, he makes everything cool.
That's what changed about me. I want to be cool -- I'm Barack right now."
Foxx, who will attend other inauguration festivities over the next few days, says one person in particular wishes she were in D.C. to celebrate -- Jennifer Hudson .
Look back at Jennifer Hudson's close bond with her family.
"Of course she was disappointed," Foxx says. "But nobody has seen her in so long, so it would've been crazy."
Foxx, who recently spoke to Hudson, says she's doing better after mourning the loss of her mother, sister and nephew, who were killed in October.
"She's doing well, and she said that she wants to get back into the swing of things," he says. "She's feeling good."
