Sean Penn Says Wyclef Jean Should Drop Out, What Gives Him The Right?

Sean Penn Says Wyclef Jean Should Drop Out, What Gives Him The Right?

Monday August 30, 2010 11:44 AM ET

The Wall Street Journal reports today that actor Sean Penn is calling for candidate Wyclef Jean to drop out of the Haitian presidential race BUT... What gives Sean Penn the right to stick his nose in Haitian Politics.

Really...

Does a bag of rice give Sean Penn the right to decide for the entire Republic? 

I'm Haitian, born and raised in Haiti. Like Wyclef Jean , I spent most of my life in the United States. I believe that Haitian politics is my business.

I want Haiti to catapult into the 21st century because it is my dream, yours too I hope, to live the rest of my life in Haiti Cherie.

Believe me... I am dying to tell you what I think; however...

I stick to my role as a "Joudalist" if I may borrow this term from my friend Roland Berthold, I am trying my best NOT TO give you my personal opinion about the Election in Haiti.

I DO NOT endorse or condone any candidate.

I am not in the position to endorse or condone a candidate. I am just a humble servant trying to tell you what is going on.

I am Haitian, YES I have an audience too, but I also know my role within my society.

But lately... This Wyclef/Sean Penn thing is... How should I describe it???

Sean Penn is doing a wonderful job as a humanitarian in Haiti but...

My Question is...

Does that give him the right to butt his nose in Haitian politics?

Are we so poor and desperate that anyone can come in with a bag of rice and decide who should become the next president of Haiti?

Forget Wyclef for now... Let's focus on Mr. Sean Penn for a minute!

What gives Sean Penn the right to stick his nose in Haitian Politics?

I can't wait to read what you have to say.
