Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...Published in the Editorials of the Haitian Times – Week of September 22 -28 What is the fuss about Wyclef Jean’s dismissal? As a Political Scientist, I was offended, upset and embarrassed by the candidacy of Wyclef Jean. I tried not to write about it but his reluctance to let go forced me to put my two cents in this drama. I was offended because of the value I put in having a good education and a university degree; upset because I felt that Mr. Jean was ill advised and embarrassed because I know Haiti has better choices. I was actually in Haiti the day he declared his candidacy and watching his followers dancing and chanting as they gathered throughout the neighborhood of Delmas was pitiful. These are children with their pants way down the waist not knowing why they are supporting him besides his fame. Whatever it is, it can’t be good. Lately, there has been a fuss about the dismissal of Mr. Jean’s bid for the presidency of Haiti. As Haitian, Mr. Jean has the right to run for president provided that he is eligible. As it turns out, he is not eligible to run for president of Haiti. Whether or not we agree with it, among other things, the 1987 constitution of Haiti clearly states that a five consecutive years of residency inside the country is required for anyone to be eligible to run for president. Mr. Jean does not meet this requirement and therefore forfeits his bid for the presidency of Haiti. Did he not know that one would ask such a fundamental question? Apparently not. It is important to note that back in January 2007, Mr. Jean was officially named a Roving Ambassador to Haiti by president Preval for his resilient work in lobbying the US Government to pass a trade bill (the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership Encourage Act (HOPE) that would benefit Haiti’s textile industry and for his support of Haiti through his Yele Haiti foundation. Mr. Jean argues that because of his diplomatic status as a Roving Ambassador he should be considered as a resident of Haiti. Here he is using the Vienna Convention to establish his residency status. By the Vienna Convention, the residency right of the Ambassador does not apply to Wyclef. Mr. Jean is an honorary ambassador and we should understand the difference between his post and that of his uncle, Raymond Joseph. He does not represent Haiti to any given Country and that is the difference. Perhaps I should define what is known by Embassy and Ambassador In addition, I would say that his advisers failed him greatly. First, if he wanted to do more for Haiti, he should have run for Mayor of Croix-Des-Bouquets and prove himself. By contrast, we have lowered the ladder of the presidency so low that anybody is thought to be presidential in Haiti. It’s a shame what is going on back home in Haiti. As I said in my prior articles and I will say it again; the electoral process in Haiti has become a joke and the presence of Sweet Micky and Wyclef Jean amongst others is living proof of it. As hard as it is for me to say, I must admit that the CEP deserves some credit for foreseeing the danger of a Wyclef’s presidency. One doesn’t have to be genius to know that Wyclef would have introduced a new meaning to Press Conferences if he was president. Responding to his critics, instead of facing his critics right on, Mr. Jean as president would circulate a rap song to the Press. I am not inventing this notion but it is logical to say that he would respond to his critics in form of a song or, perhaps I should say, in rapping. Come on give me a break; is this what Haiti deserve? This is a country not a backyard. The best advice to Mr. Jean is to quit his bid for Haiti’s president and start working on repairing his image. You can’t have it both ways, Mr. Jean. Lose the mic and the guitar should you want to be taken seriously; and avoid having to response to your critics by rapping. I would also advice him to write a song entitled “I don’t have to be president to help my fellow countrymen” as his punishment for embarrassing the country and the citizens of Haiti. We should also not ignore the fact that the notion of a Wyclef and Sweet Micky’s candidacy is not without merit. This is a domino effect reflecting on the leadership inside Haiti’s political arena. Given, we have elected Preval twice; does that mean we should keep going down the ladder? Are we to go back to Tonton Nord’s era? This is not the time to play around especially in this post earthquake era. By: Edrys Erisnor erisnor at gmail.com

Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...Hello Executive, Your comment is very ignorant and irrelevant to my posting. If you do not have anything civilized to say do not say anything at all. I would not be surprised if you are offended about the comment about the country needing God rather than evil. I do not receive any of the negative things you just say because I am covered by the Almighty who is greater than ALL other forces.

Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...This is very low for you to make a baseless statement like this about Mr.Sean Penn. This makes you look like a low class vagabond and a nouveau riche who don't know how to behave. Sean Penn use moderation and diplomacy by not revealing the incisive and poignant facts about you since he is not Haitian. Do not fool yourself; your flaws appears naked to the whole world but you. Do not let money continue to blind you. Be more alert about "rescyers" and flatters that will tell you what you want to hear in order to get your money. You know your weaknesses the best way to know who are flattering you is when they minimized or ignored your flaws and make you believe that that you are on the top of the world. Leave politics alone."La Marine pas metier rou."

Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...I certainly do not think that Wyclef's remark towards Sean Penn was presidential. I totally agree with KV about Wyclef. I would CERTAINTLY NOT allow uneducated teacher to school my kids. If I had children, I would DEFINITELY have an educated and lovingly caring teacher to teach my kids. Similarily, I would NOT choose a president who is not educated and NON caring to run a country. He/she would have to be both educated, ethical, fair, and lovingly caring. An no Sean Penn did not decide the destiny of Haiti. How could one come to that assumption? Just as Wyclef and all of us have a right to state our views or thoughts on the election so does Sean. I would not want a president such as WYCLEF to represent Haiti. Look at the way he has reacted thus far, that would definitely add to tarnish of Haiti's image. After all as KV mentioned above, ONLY GOD can help Haiti. We need a people with clean hands and pure hearts after God and nothing else but God. This country needs to be dedicated to God only and not play harlotry by trying to serve God and satan (voodoo). I am not saying that all Haitians do voodoo, but what I am saying is that it is sad that Haiti is known for a country that heavily practices this stuff. We need a Haitian people that will pour their hearts out to God and repent. Knowing God is not about knowing religion it is about having a relationship with Him and believing with out a doubt that His son already bore everything for us at the cross. It is possible if we all work for each other and with each other. Thanks! Rie

Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...Seriously I'm really disappointed in the words of Wyclef when it comes to this situation. I say this because it's because of him that we're so focused in this years election. If Wyclef didnt put himself out there this wouldn't be a discussion at all. Yes, we all know that Haiti's political system is corrupt, but we also know that a majority of the people don't even understand the system in which they are living in. Mr. Politrix says this, "With the many candidates that are running, why don't they all sit down and put a real plan together. Let's go out to the many cities and see what is needed for the people. The people would see that the government does care, which would result in more participation in governmental affairs. As of right now, it seems like the witchdoctors are the only government they believe in. This is bigger than Wyclef people, lets get back to the issues at hand...

Re: Wyclef Says: Sean Penn Didn't See Me In Haiti Because He Was Busy...5 major companies sell cement to the government of haiti, and 1 of those 5 cement companies have been dealing cement in haiti since 1974. This same cement operation is based in colombia on property owned by the formerly alive pablo escobar. Wyclef is too much of a wildcard to the status quo to be accepted as PRIME MINISTER, the government position that actually runs the government, but i dont think it would have hurt for him to take that spot that deals with the cameras.
