Here are the latest comments from our readers. regarding Charles Henry Baker Read read then all and submit your own comments Sunday Feb 19, 2006Now it is clear that the leader # 2 in Haiti after our President "Ti Rene" is "Charlito". Forget about these traditional politicians like: Manigat, Bazin or K-Plim. These traditional political leaders only want to become president to steal millions just like Aristide and his companion :Fourel Celestin did. Now, we only have 2 leaders in Haiti. Our President Rene Preval and Charles Henry Baker. Saturday Feb 18, 2006Mr. G. simon I liked your answer. I sensed honesty in your words Saturday Feb 18, 2006Justin, I respect the result of a free and fair election. You are right in a way, Preval was my preference in the race because a country like Haiti needs to be lifted from the bottom up, and I believe Preval can provide that relief; nevertherless, Haiti is desperately in need of capital investment, which can be provided by Haitians in the diaspora, the business community in Haiti, and foreigners. Once a candidate wins an election and gains the support of the entire world, I mean the entire nations on this planet, you must know that the election was fair to say the least. Even though Baker was not my choice, had he won and gained the same support that Preval is now enjoying within the international community, I would have supported him in the name of peace, progress, and stability for Haiti. Reconciliation & Peace
G. Simon G. Simon Friday Feb 17, 2006G. Simon tell me this had preval lost and someone else had won, anyone. In a fraud free election would you have call for all to unite and help in the rebuilding process of haiti. From all your comments I get the impression that your love for Preval comes before Haiti. Which is unfortunate. Now before you get upset, ask yourself honestly, what would you have done and say if the masses chose someone else. Would you have been courageous enough to respect and support their choice? Friday Feb 17, 2006If the boat capsizes, then we all have to swim on our own to get out of this mess.
NAGE POU NOU SOTI Friday Feb 17, 2006Election is over. Losing an election is never easy to handle; however, Baker said something that all Haitians should give thoughtful consideration. Baker said "Ayiti se yon bato, si bato a koule se tout moun kap koule" (Haiti is like a ship, if it capsizes and drowns, everybody will perish". I hope that Baker means what he says, and I hope that all Haitians apply these very thoughtful words. Peace to all Haitians! G. Simon Friday Feb 17, 2006isn't this a contradiction?:
first they would claim that the roads and the schools were built exclusively by preval; and then, they would also claim unwittingly that preval received religiously his orders from aristid? but if the latter is true, then the roads and schools are aristid's orders; and if the the former is true, then preval has always been his own man, therefore the fearful association is dishonest. what do you stand, you cannot have it both ways? Friday Feb 17, 2006Now Preval has a chance to prove to the entire world that he can be a real president without taking orders from Aristide as he did religiously on his first term. Now Preval has the obligation to get these $ 800 million dollars stolen by Aristide and his associates from Haiti's public administration. And Preval should also find out why the "chimeres" were paid $ USD 4000/month. Thursday Feb 16, 2006I just would like to respond to the ignorant comment of Botreau. It is time that we, Haitian go beyond of this emotional''skin color'' in our political life. My country misery is not an affair of good mulatto and bad black ; it is a question of a lack of good haitian patriots mulatto or dark skin who are unwilling to put Haiti first, Please review our history. Thursday Feb 16, 2006Not about Preval, about the deal that was struck: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060216/ts_nm/hai...

"We thought we were in a democratic process and everybody would observe the rules," said industrialist Charles Baker, considered the main candidate of the wealthy elite and a distant third with 7.9 percent of the vote.
