US President Barack Obama said during a speech to the African Union on Tuesday that he had been a "pretty good" president, and that he would have been able to win a third term - if only the law allowed him to.
While speaking about the need for African leaders to step aside when their terms end so as to maintain democracy, Obama jokingly - or not - said, "now, let me be honest with you. I do not understand this. I am in my second term. It has been an extraordinary privilege for me to serve as the President of the United States. I cannot imagine a greater honor or a more interesting job."
"I love my work. But under our Constitution, I cannot run again," he said with a laugh in his voice, indicating how he would like to run again, to which the crowd cheered.
"I actually think I’m a pretty good president," Obama continued. "I think if I ran, I could win. But I can’t. So there’s a lot that I’d like to do to keep America moving, but the law is the law."
