24994: Archivex Haiti: (comment) : An American Citizen is preparing to become President in Haiti - First Reaction...! (fwd)

According to www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald

"CEO seeks new job: the president of Haiti
A Haitian-American businessman who was born in poverty but is a self-made
millionaire faces long odds in his campaign for the presidency of Haiti."

The article goes on to say:

"The walls of Haitian-American entrepreneur Dumarsais ''Dumas'' Siméus'
office bear witness to his success -- proud photos, awards and magazine
covers recognizing his $100 million food empire in this rapidly growing city
in the Lone Star State.

His humble roots are here, too: a framed photograph of a two-room shack with
an aluminum roof in the village of Pont-Sondé, Haiti, where he was born 65
years ago.

Those roots have inspired Siméus, one of the nation's top black businessmen
and a member of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's Haiti Task Force, to take on the
greatest challenge of his life: seeking the presidency of Haiti."

My first reaction as President of Zantray, a Vodou based organization :

"What does Siméus really thinks of its roots...?

If he is from a village in Pont-Sondé, he is probably a member of the Gad
Ginen family...?

What is going to be his reaction to Haitian Vodou...?

Is he like Wyclef who lost his roots...?

So many questions are awaiting this Haitian American...?

I am going to bring this new reality to the "Loas" and hear what they have
to say.
