  • I dont think you should have to be born somewhere to be president that is just a dumb dumb dumb ass rule, and who cares about nationality any ways? god people care about that more than race its a funny thing now a days, people so brainwashed

  • MF DOOM for president

  • Wyclef Jean can't be the President. He was born in Haiti

  • I'm pretty sure he already answered this question "If I was president, I'd be elected on Friday, assassinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday, they'd go back to work on Monday. If I were president." Pretty sure you wouldn't have time to do much of anything on that time scale.

  • what song is he rapping, or was he just freestyling it?

  • Wyclef I love you, and your powerful beautiful music. But what does image have to do with the issues. And no offense but you are Not a Born and Raised American. So we as Americans need to fight a lot more than Image. We need to first stand up to power, before our image.

  • He tried to be president of Haiti and that didn't work out so good!!!!!!!!

  • idiot

  • anybody know the background music

    its straight fly !

  • What if Rebecca Black was the president of USA? :P

    Suicide rate will be 99% :D

  • hed probably be a much better politician than any of these corrupt haiti pimps

  • @vniguam So, why the fuck was Jean Bertrand Aristide exiled?

  • I like Wyclef's music -- but I don't think he would make a politician. All he wants to do is go back and change the past -- Well that ain't gonna happen -- N E X T ...

  • Bless Wyclef

  • he'd prolly give all our money to haiti

  • If I was the president... I'd be the biggest thief in the world. I'd make it illegal to be a billionaire, cuz 999 million is enough! I'd be Robin Hood in office.

  • He should try and be pres of HAITi aint there where hes from???? They sure need some help

  • Have you been living under a rock?

  • @gutembergtube oh he did try to be the president of haiti, but they rejected him

  • Is the last half from an actual song?

  • Peep Watskys rendition

  • My respect for Wyclef Jean just increased...

  • Haha, watching this made me remember his attempt at becoming the President of Haiti. Better luck next time G...

  • Wyclef didn't say shit. My vote goes to Mos Def...

  • ........Mos def has 3.12 seconds of suggestions. Mos def for prez

  • No offense but i love the star, the musician i lik and respect Clef... but when it comes to my country i'm very concern... what i'm saying clef can't be a good president.. he is not what Haiti's looking right now... I believe he is nore concern bout the glory that comes alone being a president...I'm the star, i stand for Haiti but not for the president...

  • I'd like to hear a version from NaS and Technique

  • @ImmortalHardOn I would love to hear from Lauryn Hill....myself.

  • @ImmortalHardOn never heard if i ruled the world from nas?

  • @zaik1

    ye course fam, 'it was written' was the first NaS album i ever bought

  • @ImmortalHardOn My man the Nas Mr. President would be a Result

  • the worst out of all of them..

  • Comment removed

  • if i were president id fly on a unicorn back in time, id write sick rhymes and do a lot of lines of cocoaine... if were president brllllaaahhh BLODDCLOTBLUDCLOT

  • Its Funny because he has a song called "If I were President" and is now currently trying to become President of Haiti because he never became a US Citizen. lmao.

  • WHAT is the name of the song that plays at the end?

    I HAVE TO KNOW haha

  • @BlueberryDoughnuts

    Mister President - Amnesty

    circa 1973

  • @sheljonesbermuda THANK YOU SO MUCH

    =]

  • if Wyclef were president, he would be elected on a Friday, assassinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday

  • @j671pride then go back to work on monday

  • if he was president he would make songs about issues to make money? clown

  • MOS DEF RULES.....this is stupid, i didnt like it..trying tooooooooooooooooooo hard

  • He can't even be president, he's from Haiti!

  • Wyclef a travaillé por Haiti he can do the job

  • @2553able stfu

  • two thumbs up for u clef.. yes alot of unhappy people will smack shit out of their mouth but none have the guts to step up like u r for haiti. if qualification and experience is a gold then all countries would be paradise. after all clef is a successful producer who can selects which tracks would be hits, so im sure he can decide which best options/strategies to input out to the mass when presented to him by his advisors. common sense speaks stronger than experiences in most cases. he good to go

  • @moneyteck wait so ur saying bcuz he can pick a successful song he can also pick resonable strategies to run a country, wtf r u zoe thinking. that's y haiti is so full of shit, cuz u ppl think shit

  • @molyvenson Yes im saying that gives him an advantage he otherwise wouldnt have. Producers works just like any other business minds have to. u cant just say i got a song and make it work, it has to be structured to a point where its accepted and makes sense, so therefore he would have been able to have some ideas when his advisors present stuffs to him... the people that has been and is president of haiti showed no qualifications or smarts if they did haiti would and should have been better.

  • @moneyteck The fact that Haiti was robed by the french for 200 hundred years, occupied by the americans and have their funds stolen for over 15 years, and still are being influenced in negative ways by some people (not all) from the international comunity isn't why they are in a bad shape. they just lack smart people, your a fool mate. and again being a music producer doesn't say you can run a country now good day

  • Mos And Murs for 2012

  • yo man, bullshit.

  • I Think Wyclef Is Missing The WHole Point On Being The President. This Foo' Is Trying To Change History Instead Of The Country. Well, Mos Def Has My Vote!!!

  • @WuTangMan3699 funny thing is, dude actually has a shot...in haiti

  • @superduperpluma not anymore, he was declared not fit to run campaign in hait, he did not qualify to some of the regulations in other to become president in haiti

  • Wyclef is thinking about running. I saw it on the news about an hour ago.

  • @JFKCoupdetat

    yeah in Haiti, not the U.S.

  • mos def was better stated, wyclef is too obama, to reminicent. fuck it. tell wyclef and mos def to run for prez, we'll vote one in a prez and the other as v. prez. just as easy as hillary or obama.

  • He should get a chance.

  • The thought of the what if's is grand and makes everything perfect. To those who have hears let them hear and those who have eyes let them see. This world system is controlled by something far greater and more powerful than man. Man (human kind) plays his part in the system synonymous to a puppet and so we are definitely playing our role towards the end. Let us not forget that the battle is not ours. There is one, the Creator, who is All Powerful, All knowing and Omnipresent. Let us look to HIM!

  • Comment removed

  • @De0dorant Is that your life? Going round these videos pointing out whats wrong with them? Stop taking everything in them so seriously, their meant to be more of a positive message than a litteral statement.

  • so, the president can time travel?

  • Murrs was waaay better than both of them....

    Wyclef sounded phony, like he didn't really care what was coming out of his mouth..

    Mos Def was just fucking faded, as usual, and "rambling" about shit he would like to see done in America...

    Murrs actually addressed some legit issues in an intelligent fashion, shit was deep...

  • i would vote for mos def then if mos fed got kilt id vote for wyclef

  • ofcourse mos def got most of yalls vote..now...as an artist and a person..i love that guy..

    but to me it seemed that Murs' ideas were most realistic..and it seemed like he actually put a lil thought into it.

    Im guessing that you would pick Mos because ..oh he gonna lower tax..and oh free food...where are yall gonna get free food if u dont pay the country anything to buy it with

    So u guys think about that

    Not dissin..just my perspective

  • mos def got my vote

  • What if america could change their right to bear arms and forbid all weapons in order to look for a weapon free country.

    That must be the first step in order to make a save place and strengthen the security of the people. I bet killings of innocent people would go down drastically.

  • we all know wyclef would get elected on friday, assassinated on saturday, buried on sunday, and go back to work on monday

  • he was high

  • this one sucked compared to mos def..

  • This is the reason that artists should stay fucking artists and politicians should run the country

  • Dude shut the fuck up... It's called Freedom of Speech. You know?... being able to voice your opinion

  • relax. I don't c no artists running for president. Their too free thinking for that. To be president u gotta do what your told and u can't make your own script and say what u feel like Wyclef just did, otherwise people would have more power. But the government doesn't want that, rather they want to control us.

  • wyclef doesnt know the first thing about running a country. he only knows how to say things that sound nice.

  • So did Bush, I'm sure Wyclef knows a hell of a lot more about running a country than Bush does, I mean come on, everyone is more intelligent than Bush.

  • i prefer mos def over the others

  • same here ..not because is like my fav artist ..what he said really made sense

  • yeah me too

  • i did like him untill hearing this bullshit. what is he on about? he doesn't make any valid intellident points, STICK TO SINGING!!

  • @xpottseyx

    "valid intellident points"

    you sure told him...

  • you must be from the UK, "what is he on about" we don't say that in the states.

  • "WE as Americans"? What's this "WE" business? Shame on you Wyclef for calling yourself by that worthless colonial name. Whoever runs against you for the Presidency is sure to win.

  • You sir have a place in the future.

    your pride is 100% proof that you are not an anthropologist or a biologist.

    im sure you dont understand what i mean.

  • @ AntiVenomFangX

    hahaha you loser. Im sure Bush wouldn't know what an anthropologist or a biologist is but he still became president. So that totally devastates your point!

    Electing a fucking donkey. Yeah nice lol let an animal run a country for humans. Then again we all know he was just a puppet. Like any president. Presidents these days don't exist. Decisions are all made backstage. Don't matter who's elected. Democracy my arse!!! Thats what they want u to believe.

  • @hayce01

    yes he was just a puppet. a figure head. this is no mystery.

    but your speculating doesnt devestate a point. thats as fucking braindead numb as me saying i'm sure you have sex with animals so we all know your crazy

    how old are you?

  • Actually your right. I misread what u wrote. You were refering to his pride getting in the way of being president. I read it as his lack of intelligence.

    You gotta have some degree of pride to be president. Better to have too much than none at all. Bush has none at all. As for intelligence, bush has none. Yet he became president.

    My point is if bush can do it, any idiot can. So don't say Wyclef can't.

  • @hayce01

    again you claim bush has no pride or intelligence. this blows my mind. it makes me think that you are the equivelant of a fox news fan just on the other side.

    i agree that he is the shittiest president. this has nothing to do with his intelligence(figurehead). i would love to see him and you go head to head. anyone can claim the president is an idiot and they ALWAYS do

    fucking ALWAYS! there is not a single president where someone didnt say what you are saying to me now...

  • @AntivenomFangX

    if u have pride or intelligence u don't send your own people to die or justify the murder of innocent people for oil. period!

    If I went head to head with Bush and won it wouldn't prove anything. I don't think neither he or myself are good enough to be president. But I do know 1 thing. I wouldn't exchange death for oil.

  • @hayce01

    1. a government acts in its own self interest. not the individuals self interest. not once not ever. this is an illusion that many people have, because saying something poetic always makes you look more moral than saying something logical. sorry if the world is not so nice nice, but a govt/country wants to survive...and currently this country runs off oil.

    but i would like to know what evidence you have that he is in it for oil, because i think your ignorant to the Geneva conventions

  • im aware gov don't act on individuals self interest. My point was he has no pride or intelligence because he thinks invading is ok

    1st u say "a govt/country wants to survive.and currently this country runs off oil"

    Then u say "i would like to know what evidence you have that he is in it for oil"

    1st u make it clear their in it for oil. then u ask me what evidence i have.u contradict yourself

    If their not after oil they shouldnt have touched it!

    what about all the contracts? everyone knows!

  • theres proof everywhere. heres a little:

    type this in google "WAR ON IRAQ - IS OIL A MOTIVE"

    click on the 1st link.

  • Bush Administrations excuse for invading Iraq was Weapons of Mass Destruction. None were found. Yet they invaded. This proves their had an alterior motive and cant be trusted. "We haven't found an iota of concealed material yet - UN weapons inspector

  • @AntiVenomFangX

    lol operation "shock & awe" was in violation of the Geneva Convention as was the use of depleted uranium and the treatment of prisoners in Abu Gharib Prison.

    So usa in the process of punishing iraq for breaking the Geneva Convention, breaks it themselves. Shouldn't usa therefore expect to also be punished for breaking the geneva convention? perhaps in the same manner would be fair and equivalent.

    Theres other tragedies around the world usa doesn't step in. Why iraq? oil.

  • @hayce01

    yes they should expect to be punished.

    the usa stepped in becaus its a country that acts in its own self interest. like a country that wishes to survive.

    you really think that there is this fairytale country out there fighting for the people? countries are like people in the fact that they are selfish.

  • @AntiVenomFangX

    im with you there. At least we agree on something.

    Of course there's no fairytale country fighting for the people. But some are less selfish than others. For e.g UAE doesn't charge taxes.

    Most generous and perhaps close to fairytale is Brunei.

  • @hayce01

    yea, but you have to understand that it is a unique situation to be in a position where you cannot charge taxes. and the uae does have taxes, i dont think they tax the individual.

    do these countries practice sharia law?

  • Comment removed

  • @AntiVenomFangX

    Not all but some countries could choose to function primarily off government run companies. But why do that when they can simply tax people?

    Sharia law only applies to Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria. Sudan and Egypt.

  • @AntiVenomFangX

  • @AntiVenomFangX

    Actually im only sure that Iran and Saudi Arabia are "governed" by sharia law. Most that use it only do so as a supplement to national law.

  • @hayce01

    what is your opinion on sharia law?

  • Immortal Technique for president

  • all guys who hating on Clef need to go jump off a building. he's done so much for the country of Haiti..

  • well... wouldn't get my vote

  • SOMEONE PLEASE CALL 911!

  • oil? what? huh? bitch you cookin?

  • so wyclef's saying that if he were president...he'd time travel?

  • @xpoondiggy no he's going to do things that should have been done a long time ago

  • @xpoondiggy

    he already can...duh.

  • @xpoondiggy yea he would ride his magical time travel flying pig.

  • @xpoondiggy exactly :-D

  • @xpoondiggy NO, He'd simply go back and change things he mentioned

  • damn that lil speech made me cry, fuck

  • im pritty sure hes jamican?

  • not jamaican, but haitian

  • no he is haitian

  • wyclef isn't african american he's Haitian.

  • its funny how people are always like id bring those poor soldiers home, uhh what about the MILLION FUCKING INNOCENT IRAQIS THEY MURDERED? they didnt sign up for this, THE SOLDIERS SIGNED UP TO KILL! like get a fucking brain mf. KiLLuMiNaTi

  • the soildiers signed up to kill???? in those exact words!!!!

    the people of iraq should have been use to being killed for no reason.....i mean come on, it's iraq!!!

  • congradulations "shotyboy" that comment you just left made the top 10 dumbest fucking things ive ever heard list. you obviously lack the understanding of how the world really works, you believe what you are told to believe. 1 you just admitted they are dieng for no reason, 2 over 1 000 000 dead including little girls, little boys, their mothers and fathers who HAVE NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH THE WAR! THEY DIDNT SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING let alone to kill.

  • hahaha.....Id like to thank god for allowing me to receive this award!!!!

    1)eat a dick!

    2)quit being a little faggy hippie!!!

    3)you believe in your shit, the same way i believe in my shit!

    4)the Iraqis were being killed for no reason long before the war, so they should be use to it!!!!

    5) have you ever heard of a fucking joke dueshe bag? why don't you go back to drinking your soy latte and blogging about how your period is distroying your relationship with yo man!!!

  • congradulations "shotyboy" you have just made the top 10 dumbest motherfuckers on the planet list, you will be awarded a badge by mail which can be seen here

    h t t p ://psionicstorm.zoints. c o m /image/23113-RetardMedal and you believe in "your shit" (imaginary) and I will believe in "my shit" (reality)

    and its douche bag you f'n douche bag not "deushe bag",

  • ahh...shit i am a douche bag for spelling it wrong!!!! btw you spelled congratulations wrong you fucking D-O-U C-H-E bag, and in you last comment you spelled "dyeing" wrong

    im sure you are just told thing from trusted people so you believe them....unless you have been to iraq, and if so, why the fuck would you go there!!!

  • actually I don't believe anything anybody says, I take it under consideration and verify it through research, proof and critical thinking. The war in Iraq was staged so they can put in a puppet government, issue the money and put in their bank, take the oil, keep the opium in business and make money selling arms bombs and ammo, war is big business for the international bankers who own the planet and use countries they own as chess pieces. word up.

  • oh! word up!!!

    so what are you doing to stop this????

  • I make music, in the mean while im lettin mf's know whats good, I think the question is what are you going to start doing?

  • word

  • how does making music stop the evil banks from ruling the world?

    im not going to do anything...cuz they dont bother me!

  • you will see and it doesnt bother you that they put fluoride in your drinking water since you were a baby? fluoride by the way is a neuro toxin, that means it dissolves your brain tissue, that means you are a least 20 iq points less then what you have would have been. it doesnt bother you millions of innocent people just like you are murdered in cold blood for profit? it doesnt bother you they push the drugs? I guess its all good then bro, who cares right? !!!!!!!!!

  • well where I live, i think they no longer do the fluoride in the water thing anymore!

    and no it really does not bother me...as long as Im still alive,so you're right "bro"

    maybe it's cuz im young but the "evil" banks and "evil" governments have never done anything to me......except once they gave me a parking ticket!!!

    oh and stop saying "bro" bra!!!

  • watch this you might be suprised what you find

    /watch?v=F8LPNRI_6T8

  • boring, seen it, been there done that

    everyone blows everything out of proportion now a days....if the elite wanted to form a world government they would have done it already!

  • what do you think globalization is?! haha you either do not know what is going on, or you are in conscious denial! so if you watched it you know they own the reb. and dem., the presidents follow what they are told to, you do know this right? I mean here is my prediction, lets let time tell who is right, the dollar is going to crash, there will be international pressure for a new global currency, and we will see one world government in our lifetime, and not the good type, these people are insane

  • but i feel if thing were ever to get so bad for the "common man" then there would be a mass revolution....it's happened hundreds of times before!

  • What should bother us = Why-Cleff = Ouch-Clef. Why Clef do not go away? Clef--sending you a one-way ticket to Galaxy 14.

  • i wonder if international bankers own the governments media and educational systems in "galaxy 14" as they do in the milky way dumb ass

  • Galaxy 14 is for punishment, AR.

  • MOS DEF.

  • Mos Def or Murs would be a much better president than Wyclef

  • :o *gasp* you got him there :/ (sarcasm)

  • its a damn song! talking bout how fast things would happen. he wrote it way before obama and thought thats what wouldve happened if a black man ever became president, think before you speak

  • sick lolz

  • mos def was better

  • i liked murs better

    my votes are for murs

  • i liked mos def better

  • 0:11

    was?

  • "if i was president"

  • "if I were president" is the grammatically correct usage of the phrase. you reverse the plurality of the verb "to be" if it is hypothetical.

  • I seriously hate entering grammatical debates, but it's not necessary to use the subjunctive mood. Sometimes it just gives an unnecessary tone of formality.

  • I seriously hate to kill you guys' hard-ons, but that's the title of a song from Wyclef, so he wasn't being stupid, he was paying homage.

  • lol

    guys just enjoy or just watch the fukin

    video

    every video someone always has to write some smart comment

    its youtube just watch

    without saying something stupid

  • While Wyclef is an amazing artist, but I found it funny at the beginning of the video when he said "We as Americans" when Wyclef himself is from Haiti.

  • He's an American citizen, and does it matter any way??

  • If he were President he would sit and worry about the little things that happened? Please, hindsight is 20/20. How about rounding up all gang members and gassing them like Hitler did the Jews. That way our children can play safe at the parks and walking down the street in the hood wouldn't be a problem. How about before you have a baby, take a class to learn how to raise your child w/o trauma. Pay teachers more so they will be interested in teaching. Please

  • Toussaint L'Ouverture, baby!

  • actually wylcef, it will take a while to pull out. and if we did it as fast as we pulled in like you said, we would have A LOT more dead americns on our hands. becaues it is much easier to target a bunch of americans trying to leave

  • wow im glad your a fucking military strategist, dumbass.

  • ahahahahahahahaha that just made my day

  • I want to sit in the studio with wyclef!!!!!!!

    Just one dat! WHOOT WHOOT!
