For those of you who don't understand French...

Basically Michel Martelly says that as Haitians we have to be able to establish the difference between the performer and the "personage"

Again... What do you think?

I have to admit and heard Martelly speech.

It was quit moving!

The only thing to worry about now is his long cemented connection with corrupted people in Haiti.
