 Wyclef Jean Will Not Be Haiti’s Next PresidentPosted on Sep 22, 2010
This is news that will come as a relief to some (ahem, Sean Penn): Former Fugee and wannabe Haitian president Wyclef Jean has conceded that he’s not in the running to become his homeland’s next leader and has officially withdrawn from the race. Now, he’s going back to his music, and apparently this brush with politics will provide the fodder for his next artistic endeavor. —KA

I’m sure if the government here wanted him to be president of Haiti, he would be. Shameful, shameful, shameful, the persecution of Haiti by the U.S., Canada, and France. I once wrote they already have a president, and the commenter here on Truthdig didn’t even know what I meant. Pathetic, that people don’t even remember the U.S. coup against Aristede.

Alternate titles for his upcoming album: “Money Made Me Think I Could Be President of Haiti”, or “My Ego is Bigger Than Haiti”, or possibly “Where the Hell Is Pras?”

Right, sure: a pop star as president of Haiti. That’s about as likely as…a B-movie actor becoming president of the United States!

Instead of being feared for our military prowess, we should be respected for our dedication to human life and rights. It’s time to help the Haitian people rebuild their infrastructure and lives. Sean Penn is a true hero for spending his time and money helping the people in tent city with the basic needs of water, food, shelter and medical care.
