President Barack Obama revealed the one thing he'd do if he had anonymity during an interview with ABC's Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan that aired Friday morning.

When Strahan asked the president what he'd do "unrecognized, without the Secret Service," Obama had a simple answer.

"I'd go take a walk," Obama told Ripa and Strahan while talking in the Blue Room of the White House. "I would just walk out this gate. I might walk up to the Lincoln Memorial, sit on there. Maybe I'd wander and find myself at a little outdoor cafe or something and sit, order something and just watch people go by."

Obama admitted the thing he misses most as president is anonymity.
