While speaking to African leaders at the African Union Headquarters in Ethiopia today July 28th, President Obama asked African leaders to leave office whenever their tenure comes to an end and shaded the heck out of Mugabe and Burundi president. What he said below...
"I am in my second term. Its been an extraordinary privilege for me to
serve as President of the United States. I love my work but under our
constitution I cannot run again. I actually think I am a pretty good
president. I think if I ran I could win. But I can't. So there is a lot
that I will like to do to keep America moving but the law is the law and
no one person is above the law. Not even the president. And I will be
honest with you.
I am looking forward to life after being president. I
wouldn't have such a big security detail all the time. It means I can go
take a walk. I can spend time with my family. I can find other ways to
serve. I can visit Africa more often. The funny thing is I don't
understand why people want to stay so long especially when they have got
a lot of money. When a leader tries to change the rules in the middle
of the game just to stay in office, it risks instability and strife as
we have seen in Burundi. Sometimes you hear a leader say well I am the
only person who can hold this nation together. If that's true, then that
leader has failed to build their nation. You look at Nelson Mandela.
Madiba like George Washington forged a lasting legacy not only because
of what they did in office but because they were wiling to leave office,
transfer power peacefully. Just as the African Union have condemned
coups and illegitimate transfers of power,the AU and other strong voices
can also help the people of Africa ensure their leaders abide by term
limits under their constitution. Nobody should be president for life" he
said.

Mr gay president we v heard. Never knew Michelle Obama (aka michael) was a tranny. No wonder una kill my Joan rivers.
Tell them o Mr. Obama. African leaders have become a burden on their people; keeping the people in endless bondage by monopolizing power for several generations.

Like Obama or hate him,call him an Antichrist or not,see him as gays defender or not,truth his speech holds a ring of simple truth.African leaders are so greedy when it comes to power.Mugabe will be composing an epic reply already.
Linda,it's only Mugabe you know, right? Oteee! It includes Eduardo dos Santos of Angola and Paul Biya of Cameroun.
Obama didn't mention clueless Jona as one of d leaders dat handed over freely :):)....... And d stupid Jona is referred to as Hero mtcheeeeew. #HeroMyAss#. He is not acknowledged, period. #GoAndDieJona#(in Oshiomole's bedroom voice#. Farts and walks away....

Thumbs up to Obama...
SAY IT TO DE HEARIN OF 91 YRS OLD ROBERT WU WANTS TO DIE IN POWER....TOMJERRYSWIT
He does have a valid point on so many spectrum's, in the long run nations can only be as good, reliable, stable, governable as their last president. Having to be in office and all of the sudden changing the way that the law is applicable to you (presidency) or changing the constitution to meet your personal needs is questionable. Hence, Jacob Zuma, this only screams unstable and lack of accountability as well as an insecure government. Who will take responsibility? Not even sufficient citizen participation in a strife nation that overlooks the input of the very same people that vote for you (president) can carry on without having a questionable government. What is the fear of transferring power when you have campaigned for at least two terms and still won. A stout leader leaves while he is still able to take accountability.
I don't know what AU are doing there! Don't they know such laws are to be enforced?
Well explained,
LOL Mugagbe will probably have something to say about this!
How I wish all these power drunk leaders in Africa can take a cue from Obama. Surprisingly some leaders have been in power since when Obama was in college. It can only happen in Africa!
Tell dem
President OBAMA thank u. Africa sit tight MARIO pls concede.
You don start obama
Please tell them.
True talk. A president must not even do more than 4years.
Noted !!!! At least he didn't call for gay rights on this one
Well said Barack
You are indeed a good president,nice talk,keep it up mr president,jah bless your soul
Great speech to all Africa leaders, I believe they we act on this and make Africa a better place.
Thanks.
Intrestin. Nice one
Obama let us be biko! U are not needed in Africa Mr gay
It's cold it's cold
Couldn't have been better said.
Couldn't have been better said.
Obama, let me support you on this, out side your gay activist. Please tell our African Leaders!
You're the best president and there's no two ways to it. Don't mind those grand fathers that want to die in power....shameless old men!
What a brilliant strive against g
The truth s alwayz bitter. Nice one frm obama. Buh d basic we stick to power for long s becos f our diverse ethnicity, winner takes it all syndrome.
Please tell them ......especially "when they have got a lot of money"....to spend in retirement and find other ways to serve! This is Africa's albatross...it is the same thing as 'cancer of corruption'; it is the bane of our socio-economic growth. It was good they listened and clapped their hands and we hope it will sink line, hook and sinker.
Gbam na true talk. The truth must be told and that truth has been told. I hope they are listening.
Preach 🎤!!!!!!!!!!!!!Obama
Thank you!!
Mugabe and Nkurunziza are a disgrace to the very people they claim to serve. How pathetic.
Mugabe has destroyed the jewel of Africa and still he clings to power. Shameful!!
true talk mr barak obama..

The reason for the backwardness of most of the countries in this continent is GREED. why would someone want to hold on to power for life. wasn't the country in existence before you? Evil MUGABE will be thinking of what to say now. nothing more than gay problem

He could not have said it better,this african presidents want luxury life forever.,we hope if it gets to Pmb turn he will hand over!
Hahahahaha!
Seriously. This reply will be HOT. Can't wait
America is racing toward an historic crisis concerning the nuclear deal reached with Iran this past week. This nuclear agreement is a disaster of historic proportions. It does the following:
1) It very clearly guarantees an existential threat to the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Iran has always had the will to "wipe Israel off the map." With nuclear weapons they will have the power to achieve their maniacal dreams.
2) Iran will receive $150,000,000,000 that will most assuredly be used to provide weapons for their terrorist organizations (Hamas and Hezbollah) on the border of Israel.
3) We went from demanding inspections "any time anywhere" to a 14-day notice in advance that an inspection is coming.
4) America went from "no intercontinental missiles" to “no problem” with intercontinental missiles. Wake up America! Those intercontinental missiles will hit New York City and America. They can launch multiple EMP (electromagnetic pulse) missiles that can shut down America's electronics immediately.
America has made a deal with the devil! There is only one hope. That hope is that the U.S. Senate can muster 67 votes in the Senate to make this deal veto proof. If that fails, America will have officially turned its back on Israel and God will turn His back on America.
I ask you to pray each day for the next 60 days or until this matter is determined by the Congressional vote. We are living a moment in time similar to Esther in the Bible going before the king to plead for the lives of the Jewish people.
The people of Israel fasted and prayed for three days before she risked her life going before the King uninvited. She went with God's favor and the Jewish people were spared.
It's time to pray our way through this dark and potentially very tragic hour. May God bless each of you and those you love.

Just like our dear Jonathan Ebele Goodluck Azikiwe(Jega) did.
WHAT ABOUT OBJ THAT KEEPS INTERFERRING IN POWER AND WHEN HE IS NOT IN CONTROL HE CAUSES CONFUSION> HE SHOULD ALSO BACK OUT AND STAY IN OTA FARM.
Good one Obama
Juliette all this ur 1867 English.. Been better put... Oghene bikorrrr
Mugabe is really mouthed so I'm sure his response will be epic.
President Obama, you are indeed a true son of Africa. You have spoken the truth once again, but will they listen? One thing you forgot to let them know, is: the enormous money/loot amassed by most of these so-called leaders came from the public purse. What has any of these legis-looters invented or produced? What was the type of value-added enterprise their fathers/grand fathers passed on to them for any of them to become overnight billionaires? Can someone please tell us? As though, this wasn't insult enough on the sensibilities of the African people, these same leaders/white-collar robbers seek to die holding unto power. Or at best, hand over power to their ignorant, half-wit and visionless spawns aka children. Given history, it is almost guaranteed this crop of African leaders will not exit the stage willingly. So, what must be done to flush them out? Africa's youths must cast fear aside and DEMAND these necessary changes from their respective leaders. Just like you intoned in your recent Kenya visit speech. For African youths to do otherwise, is: goodcause4trouble
I can not now confirm you need a brain surgery. Efi!
lol some comments tho.. what is "mr gay president"? baffled! People need to show more literacy online!
