Dumarsais Mécène Siméus (also Dumas Siméus; born 1939) is a Haitian-born and U.S. naturalized businessman from Texas. Simeus returned to Haiti to be a candidate in the 2006 presidential elections. (wikipedia)
I haven't felt this much hope about Haiti in many years.
I'm very surprised and disappointed by these maneuvers.
It's not a personal victory, it's a victory for the Haitian people. This victory showed that we will break the spine of the status quo that has done nothing for this country in over 200 years.
In all that I have done, I have always been successful. I'm a perpetual winner, and I will win these elections.
This election, without us being allowed to participate as a presidential candidate, will have no legitimacy whatsoever.
I really do get the sense that he'll be his own man. I don't think he's going to make the same mistakes that were made under Aristide. He can bridge the divide between rich and poor.
From what I heard on the radio all day, with the prospect of Preval being president, the elite is already lining up and getting ready to derail him and keep him from governing.
