Wyclef Jean Officially Running For President of Haiti

As I mentioned here last Tuesday, Wyclef Jean has filed the paperwork to become a presidential candidate in Haiti. In an open letter to the people of Haiti, he explains how he came to his decision and has his family's support. Wyclef also discussed how he explained his decision to his four-year old daughter. As the father of a four-year old daughter myself, I can understand and appreciate the manner in which he did it and his hope that "[his] baby girl will understand that...to live for yourself is to live selfishly, but to live for others is the best sacrifice that we can make as human beings." For this sentiment alone, I wish him best of luck in his campaign.
