Dream big, Mr. President:
If you have any doubt as to how much of a sports junkie Barack Obama is, check in with the entertainment moguls who attended a private briefing with the president Nov. 26 before his speech at Jeffrey Katzenbergโs DreamWorks Animation campus in Glendale.
At the end of the conversation โ which touched on a myriad of topics, from piracy to Iran โ Obama revealed whatโs at the top of his bucket list postโWhite House: โAt least I know what I want to do when I retire . . . host ESPN SportsCenterโs Top 10 list,โ Obama quipped as he turned to Disneyโs Robert Iger, whose empire includes ESPN.
The highlights countdown can feature everything from major sports to bull fighting to high school basketball. Other than having a good laugh, Iger apparently didnโt respond.
โEveryone had a good giggle,โ says one person who attended.
