More Wyclef-ness

from the comments:
The issue is not whether Wyclef is living up to his appointed responsibility to change the world, nor further is it his character; the issue that might be embraced is his message in this song, "If I was President". If nothing else, the light of this voice, the voice for equality, should shine brighter than any other. Love all, especially yourself.

Okay... first of all, the only real message I could perceive in "If I Were President" is basically that someone would try to kill him and nothing would happen... you can call that a cry for equality if you want, I suppose, but... whatever...
Secondly, I give Wyclef a hard time, because he's a hypocrite... He has this foundation called Clef's Kids, right? He tries to help less fortunate children through something to do with music (how about bypassing the bullshit and just giving me some food instead, 'Clef baby?) Recently, he went on a talk show talking about how he had to shut the foundation down temporarily because they didn't have any money and he was really desparate to find some flow... Well, here's an idea - howsabout he sells one of his THREE three hundred thousand dollar-plus Bentleys that he proudly shows off on Mtv's Cribs to put a little money into the fund? Or is that just too much to ask - to separate an lame-assed no-talent from his much-treasured worthless bling? Apparently, because it's not happening.

Yeah, he loves himself, alrighty...
