President Barack Obama joked, while addressing the African Union, that he would win if he ran again for the office of President of the United States, but cannot run again, because the Constitution does not allow it and the "law is the law." While his message and joke was delivered without malice, he still overlooks objective conditions and structural constraints that African countries face which are absent in the United States.
