Song 20: If I Was President, Wyclef Jean

I find Haiti politics very confusing. Wyclef Jean was allowed to vote in the Haiti election but not allowed to run. While campaigning in Haiti for another candidate, he was either shot or "cut by broken glass".

This is a blog about political music, but please take the time, right now, to read Graham Greene's The Comedians, set in Haiti under the rule of Papa Doc Duvalier and then make up your own mind who you think should be able to be president of Haiti.

Here's If I Was President, with the terrifying line "I'd be assassinated on Saturday" and the true "then go back to work on Monday."
