    ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: A lot of your pop culture tastes are already

listed on your Facebook page -- we know you like the first two Godfather

movies and are a big SportsCenter fan -- but we want to get a little more

specific and probing.



    BARACK OBAMA: Absolutely, sure.



    For instance, who's your favorite movie or TV president?



    You know who was a great movie president? Jeff Bridges in The

Contender. That was a great movie president. He was charming and

essentially an honorable person, but there was a rogue about him. The way

he would order sandwiches -- he was good at that.



    Is that one of the things you're looking forward to? Confounding the

White House kitchen staff with obscure sandwich requests?



    Absolutely. I want to test them. I want to see if I can get any

sandwich I want.
