Today the news is about Wyclef Jean not allowed to run for President of Haiti. He has not lived in Haiti for more than 5 years. I think the reason is probably good enough to turn down his request. Principal wise, it is logical that you need someone who knows the country's struggles and pain to actually understand the seriousnes of the country's problems.
Although he is a very popular Haitian, that does not make him fit to do the job. On the other hand, there's only a handful of people in any country who actually has the capability to be a politician. Unless of course you have been brought up and expose to politics....say like Hishamuddin Tun Hussein or Najib Razak. They have a slight advantage based on experience.
Would Wyclef make a good President? He seems serious enough. He's still an OK singer...a President? I yet to visualize him in that position...the only thing i can see is him in that Shakira video...Hips Don't Lie..
