Obama Vs. Martelly - Is CHANGE really POSSIBLE?

Is HAITI Politics any Different than USA Politics? --- Barack Obama ran for Change, Michel Martelly ran for Change, Obama wanted to change Washington, Martelly wants to change Port-au-Prince... How are they doing so far?

Let's see...

Washington Vs. Port-au-Prince... Round 1...

In Washington, the Republican Party is blocking Obama's every move...

In Haiti, The INITE party is blocking Martelly's very FIRST move [getting the prime minister he wants]

How is Obama doing in the polls?

according to FoxNews.com, A new Gallup poll released Sunday Aug 14 shows that President Barack Obama's approval rating has dropped below 40 percent for the first time ever.

How is Martelly doing in the polls?

Well in Haiti, there are no Gallup polls, but Martelly's tenacity for CHANGE is beginning to translate into an inability to reach out to his adversaries in parliament.

THE QUESTION:

Looking at Obama's approval rating now, considering that everyone who voted for him voted for "CHANGE you can believe in," Do you really believe that Haitian president Michel Martelly can really bring the CHANGE he promised the status quo in Haiti?

Already... Is it NOT obvious that the system he is trying to change is trying to knock him out?

Is CHANGE really POSSIBLE in Haiti?

For the most of all, accepting the fact or not both Presidents have to deal with bureaucratic elements who opposed one way or the other.

However, The Senators in Haiti are not defending any code of moral ethical value, but for ethnic cleansing.

While these Senators in the USA believe it or not thinking of being pro-small government and representing the core idea of the American people.

The question is not USA vs HAITI.

The question is rather between two men at the reign of power in their respective countries;
they both have to deal with a Congress which refuses to compromise.

Haiti's politics is very different than any other third world country closed to many other countries in the Caribbean.

Someone must be unrealistic to even go that far comparing Haiti politics to the USA politics.

I am a really blood Haitian.
