  • @comebackkidevan saw that episode... i miss the chappelle show 2

  • you dont have to become a president to stop the war on cannabis all you gotta do is join N.O.R.M.L. and vote november 2nd 

  • yes, he's a greedy-man 

  • nou tap gen on bon president si sa te ka vinn realite map vote l' oui mwen men

  • u Go Pres Wyclef

  • Now he gets the chance...Let's hope he's not assassinated though haha. I think he can do what needs to be done for the country. He's a very intelligent man and from what I've read the misappropriation of funds allegations aren't true.

  • wow, he's actually going for it!

  • If I voted I would vote for Wyclef. He is Lion Heart. Pass the blunt peeps Namaste!!!

  • Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see."

    - Thomas Jefferson, 1781

    "Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere."

    - George Washington, 1794

  • Damn Wyclef switches this song up somehow all of the time! I still like every variation of this but I like just the vocals and the Acoustic guitar

  • hey people search for BABA GYPSY CRAZE new fresh gypsy reggae style very funky

  • burried on sunday

    go back to work on monday

    ZOMBIE! jk i love u wyclef!

  • We love you Wyclef! HAITI!!

  • Wyclef should be Prime Minster of Haiti and president he would do more for the people of haiti than any poliction in the last 200 years.

  • @sespaillat

    He should be the president of Haiti and not the prime minister, cuz Preval can run the country

  • HAITI !!!!!!!!!!!

  • VOTE FOR WYCLEF

  • he makes rap fucking good dude...

  • no, hes spekin out to all the under privelaged. dont worry man bout no food, no pride in yer job. cause it really dont matter much man. what really counts is puttin, it oh yes i say puttin it in yer bung oh i say say puttin it yer bung man.

  • Wyclef is alluding to Obama's future in office and how racism and prejudice has not ceased, but as we know our president is alive, well, and has broke the color barrier. Most of the important figureheads in the world have died and been assassinated while serving their country.

  • I would use the money used for wars to feed the poors

  • I would use it to rid the world of literacy

  • if bush was thinking like dat!!!!

  • If I was president I would use the money wasted on stopping marijuana to stop the genocide in Sudan, reform our criminal justice system and protect our children from pedophiles. I would fire all of our corrupt politicians taking payoffs and our unjust judges. I would also stop the federal government from opressing Native Americans and native hawaiians by giving full sovereignty to them on their own land. I would stop giving oil companies tax breaks and instead give tax breaks for clean energy

  • drugs will destroy a nation.

    The genocide in Sudan is "not the US's problem" according to the UN. (personally fuck the UN and do it anyways)

    good luck with the Justice System and Corrupt Politicians. You can't fire a politician because they are elected in. This is a Republic not a dictatorship and you would be corrupt by breaking the law and firing them.

    The oil company Tax Breaks are seen down on our level. Why do you think the US has the cheapest gas?

  • There is no instance in the history of civilization of drugs destroying a nation. Drugs are an evil that destroys lives but the prison unions have fought releasing nonviolent drug offenders because it keeps them employed. Hemp was grown by George Washington, if it was good enough for him we should be able to grow. although we can't "fire" politicians there are several politicians (Duke Cunningham is one) in prison right now who got caught to taking bribes. They have lost their positions

  • if I was president I would stop our unjust war on marijuana and fight real justice

  • Hell Yeah

  • @MURDERORMARIJUANA

    Fight real justice? I think you mean injustice.

    P.S i'm dutch so i'm all for legalizing!

  • @markstalman , yes thanks for pointing my typo out. All our governments need to stop their FACSIST & UNJUST war on marijuana. If I was president I would release all marijuana related "offenders" in our prisons. Anyone in prison for possessing/selling marijuana is a political prisoner.

  • @itsmusiccentral

    Ya that would explain why Amsterdam has

    a low % of its population that actually smokes pot.

  • Marijuana isn't legal in Amsterdam... it's not really enforced all that well...

    Just so y'know.

  • @MURDERORMARIJUANA good luck getting that threw congress...

  • thats real orginal

  • politician-citizen dynamic is more important than each individual component.

    Its sad how even in times of unifying events (we have a president with half minority status), that we continue to be divisive. I would blame

    ourselves for not being good citizens, instead of the leaders for their incompetence and ability to make provisions for EVERYBODY. Citizens should support the leader until leader proves undeserving.

  • awesome video!

  • If Obama was president, he would make everything better for USA and everyone living in America. He would stop the injustice!

    Oh, that is right. He IS president. And he is doing exactly the same that Bush did. He is carrying on the injustice and political power. But he is a great talker, just like Hitler was, so many still believe he is a great president.

  • Yo asshole HE JUST GOT PRESIDENT IT TAKE A WHILE BEFORE YOU CAN HELP A BIG COUNTRY ASS USA GIVE THE GUY A CHANGE... SO WAIT BEFORE YOU SAY SOME THING

  • Well let see

    Fuking Bush put USA down to the ground...

    with no arms and legs...

    Obama comes in place...

    he trys to bring USA back...

    it fuking hard since Fuking Bush has already brough USA way down to where he cant even stand up

    So Obama...have faith in him...let see what he down....just the 1st year...

    3rd if he fail...i will admit he is bad...but this is basically Bush Fault!

  • agree

  • fui da scheiZ

  • under obama's administration, 30,000 haitians are being deported

  • BALLIN

  • Hi! I'm from a foreign country and speak no much english, but I'm glad you US citizenz voted this black dude as your president.

    He is so like Bob Marley. But what the word "wyclef" means? Because I find it no in my dictionary, a big one.

    You are a lucky country. Our president can not sing like this here! No way!

    This is a true artist and a great thing he won that election in a mostly white and spanish languaged country like yours!

  • Wyclef Jean didnt get elected as president. It was Barack Obama who got voted in. Wyclef is just a brilliant artist and lyricist. But I believe it was a good turn for the US of A. Im from Canada.

  • Uh, thanks. Canada must be a nice place too, that is America as well isn't it? I mean I'll go and check that out on Google Earth someday.

    That Barack guy you've mentioned is fine too, but his "yes we can" song is the only I've found from him, and that is not half as cool as this. I have problems with the lyrics, you know, because I speak no english. I thought that the US president speaks mostly spanish, but that is not true.

    Anyways, thanks for correcting my oversight.

  • if you dont speak english how did you write that.... or read any of tis for that matter...

  • Does it matter?

    If yes just say so, and I will answer - but note that understanding a question on this complexity-level is hard job, and my answer will not necessarily be adequate.

    But funny, I've noticed since, that the canadian-american dialect is very similar to real american, and even that seems to be rooted in like french, spanish and african.

    I think in history there were points when the three cultures were connected to each other in some ways. I mean in those ancient primitive times.

  • He made this song a long time ago, way before Obama was even being considered a candidate

  • Genius Comedy ^

  • Yes, because most black peoples speak french and like african or something. But this guy keeps on using mostly english in his public appearances - even now as elected president of the America too. This is kinda weird, but the overall impression is awesome.

    I've missed the two because this artist is african, and sings mostly english too. That's it. He is cool. I have no problem with english, this is like a language like any else good languages like german or something. Just silly. But OK.

  • Good job wyclef support the motherland, Haiti. My home to.

  • dont rip on wyclef man he does his thing you guys do your thing if you dont like it dont watch it just dont rip on him man hes good people let him do him and you do you.

  • Sick song man

  • this is a song are you stupide?

    DO YOU KNOW haiti?

  • you are retarded. it's song! he's not really running. he doesn't REALLY want to be the pres. Plus he wasn't born in this country so he wouldn't qualify. don't be ridiculous and take an awesome song and make it too serious. pleeease.

  • How about you listen to the words and figure it out yourself? It's not that difficult to understand.

  • just did...sucks

  • lol

    your tears are so delicious

  • Wyclef you need to just become President of the US... Matter of fact, your basically President of Haiti, how about a God to the People.

    God Bless you

  • i like this version better but i cant find it to download anywhere! all i can find is the old version! can anyone help me?

  • this has a kompa feel to it

  • Jintamil go back to the fucking trailer park you crawled out of, you racist piece of shit. He's not saying he'd be assassinated because he's so popular, he thinks he would be assassinated because of racist fucks like you who don't want to see an African-American president. On another note, if you've never heard of him....you must be musically retarded.

  • if he actually thinks he's popular enough to insinuate the kinda hatred that would kill him then he is delusional, he is ego maniacal to think people would actually kill him for being president, let alone get elected as president. people barely even know who this guy is. i havent even heard about wyclef since his "gone till november song" and if it werent for a black man becoming president then I probably woulda never seen this nigger again. fuck wyclef john.

  • Ppl stop replying to the ignorance of stupid ass white ppl that are racist. It jus gives them a false sense of signifigance making them think that sensible ppl really give a shit about them. Theyll all be dealt with by the one that does the true dealing.

  • You know... my black friends and I don't sit around and say "cracker" or "whitey". It's so lame to say that kind of stuff. It's 2009 bro, open your mind. And if you're mad at blacks because you got the short end of the stick in life... maybe instead of blame others, you can change yourself. Oh, and yes.... Wyclef is saying if HE was president.... this is WAY before Obama got elected dude. One.

  • WYCLEF FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

  • wyclef for president ppl WYCLEF!!!!

  • fuck u guy obma is a true gansta and his going to money in yo wallets and u be like i have money and your kids are going to have good schools and im tierd or all this white people being president the fuck up every thing example bush he fucked us up bad so shut the hell up stupid crakers obama is a homie

  • [white boy] yeah this guys is right, fuck racist. plus bush was crazy, obama and hes team going to make change the right way

  • I agree to a certain degree. Obama ain't done nathan yet. I doubt he'll be as close to as bad as Bush.... but I don't think he'll be a Roosevelt. Least not in his first term. Like your optimism though. You should drop the race card with your enthusiasm though.... because there's No such thing as a black president.

  • true one is if i were :D

  • fuck obama !!!!

  • FUUUUUUCK obama Wyclef For Prez
