A supporter holds a portrait of Wyclef Jean as Wyclef (right) leaves the electoral office after submitting the paperwork to run for president of Haiti earlier this month.
I wasn’t even going to write about this fiasco but when the election council in Haiti rejected Wyclef’s bid for presidency, on the grounds that he has not lived in Haiti for over 5 years; I couldn’t resist.
You would think this reason would be common sense to the U. S. rapper but apparently not.
In a flurry of emails sent out by Wyclef he said:
“We await the CEP decision but the laws of the Haitian Constitution must be respected,” “We can only Hope!”
In the meantime Jean, who was one of dozens of candidates vying for the office of President in the earthquake stricken region said., “He was in hiding out Tuesday after receiving death threats”.
Jean said he received a phone call telling him to get out of Haiti and that he was in hiding in a secret location in the Caribbean country.
It never ceases to amaze me, how some people will always make a situation all about them. IMO, he’s power hungry.

Hello All. Not many countries nor individuals have ever really cared about Haiti. Before this devastating earthquake, who ever aspired to vacation in Haiti or visit Haiti on gp? That said, perhaps Wyclef could bring prosperity to this nation of beautiful black people? Even on a small scale, it would be something. For the record, only about 10% of the monies pledged around the world have been sent to Haiti, so sad. Now we have Pakistan suffering from the worse disaster in their history. We are so blessed in America and most of us don’t even know it! Peace.

Wyclef is truly the devil for what he has done with that Yele charity. Thank the Lord I didn’t give him money to squander after the earthquake (even thought it’s looking like the Red Cross wound up squandering my few dollars after all). At this point there is no way he could convince me that he is an honorable man. But if he’d even try he’d have to start by moving to Haiti and living there for the required 5 years before he tried to run again. But that’s alright, the IRS is gonna make him pay in spades. Dirty bastard.
