t the end of the conversation -- which touched on a myriad of topics, from piracy to Iran -- Obama revealed what's at the top of his bucket list post-White House: "At least I know what I want to do when I retire … host ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 list," Obama quipped as he turned to Disney's 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 didn't respond.

The comment section is a interesting read. I would have thought the Hollywood Reporter would have loving comments about the one.

He knows as little about sports as he does about governing.

He and Keef Olberman should co-host. Birds of a feather.
