It has always been part of human nature not to want change, but it is even more true with the Haitian people.

Haitians are the most fearful of change.

They tend to be content with what they have and don't believe they can find something even better out there.

Since the beginning of time, Haitians have been governed by a bunch of senior citizens/old people who pretend to speak good French and give fancy speeches all day and all night, and Haitians seem to enjoy that a lot even though when it's clear to them these self-proclaimed scholar presidents are not doing anything for them.

In my life time, as Haitian, the most common debate that I have been listening to among Haitians is "what president (former/current and future) who speak better French and attended the best college, where" but never what president/government who's done more for Haiti.

Their debate is never about what president/government who has created more jobs, who has built better infrastructures, who has educated more people, who has elevated the people soul and spirit to the highest and gave hope and inserted a sense of pride into the Haitian people's soul, etc...

Majority of Haitians who are supporting Mirlande Manigat for president despite her age of 70 years old, are doing so purely and simply because she has a Ph.D from Sorbonne.

I don't support her candidacy, beside her age, due to past experience pure and simple.

She is the former "first lady while she always had a Ph.D and had already attended Sorbonne.

Can someone tell me what exactly her husband and her had accomplished for Haiti?

Nothing, nada, rien, anyen.

The people was starving and cannot provide for their families while her husband, the president, was spending most of his time in office giving speeches and screaming on the microphone to show how well he can speak French and showing off his education level.

The time of the Manigat family in the National Palace was nothing but the total and complete "INCOMPETENCE AND MEDIOCRITY."

Haitians want to hold on to a bunch of senior citizens to lead them and to the "Incompetence and Mediocrity" because that's all they know and that's all they are comfortable with.

I am not that naive, dumb and stupid, however, not to realize that Sweet Micky did not attend a fancy college and do not have a PhD let alone a master's degree.

I am fully aware he is an antertainer who has used many different personas and fowl language on stage.

But this is what entertainers do to captivate the imagination of the crowd and their supporters.

This is part of the job otherwise he would be a boring entertainer with a short lived career.

Frankly, I do not care about his past and the career he had chosen and how had conducted himself as an entertainer.

All I care about is now and the future of Haiti and the Haitian people.

And I see Sweet Micky as the only one capable to provide the kind of leadership needed to take us there.

He is young, he is charismatic, very popular, and seems to have the wisdom and the humility to be a good leader.

Haiti needs a leader, a strong leader capable to provide the leadership needed to rebuild the country, the nation, and the haitian society.

It's time that Haitians welcome and embrace change for once. Sweet Micky is the change, the outsider, the one who can speak in the language that ALL Haitian can understand.

Beside what worst can he do after what we've experienced in the past 207 years?
