Hopefully the former feeling wins.

If he spends all his time between now and the election campaigning in Haiti he'll be gone til November

But if he were President, he'd get elected on Friday and assassinated on Saturday.

I think we can safely call this one a corporate candidate. Pure crap.

[patrick1]

With his previous track record of mismanaging or embezzling charity money, he is the perfect candidate for Haiti.  You need a continuity of leadership in crisis and he fits the centuries long tradition of kleptocracy.

[??????????]

Haiti summed up, the DR is thriving.

It's hard to find something more depressing than Haitian politics.

As said he won't be president for long.

Well the song says:

'I'd get elected on Friday
Assassinated on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
And go back to work on Monday'

He would be able to resurrect, that would be worse than expected.

Heh I forgot that part of the song. Thats what I get when I don't listen to anything of his when hes not with the Fugees.

It's only fair that a member of the minority zombie population finally gets to rise to the highest office.

Jean's been barred from running.

He's accepted the decision and urged his supporters to do likewise.

That guy really wants to hurt his country...

[danny]

Would he really be such a downgrade compared to past presidents? The way people are reacting here you would think that until now Haiti has had competent and honest presidents.

Well, it's not because Haiti had a bad track record that it should become a pattern. Especially after what they knew in the last years.
