Haitians dreams of "change" in the US election - 09 Oct 08

Back


Viewed by some people internationally as an inspirational figure, Barack Obama would shatter racial barriers in the US if he wins the election on November 4th. One country where people hope that will come to pass is Haiti, where 95 per cent of people are of African descent. As Al Jazeera counts down to the US election with the continuing series "The world watches", Teresa Bo got the view from there.

HOPE is what we need and I dont mean Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement (HOPE) Act .I mean the real hope the one the come from the people to the people. Barack Obama has picked Patrick Gaspard as his campaign director, Patrick Gaspard may very well find himself a post somewhere in future President Barack Obamas cabinet or at the very least a position somewhere in government .Even thought I an the believe that help will have to come from the people and not the government

He didn't say that. He said he wants a Democrat to win and it comes from the fact that U.S. Democratic presidents tend to be less meddlesome in Haiti's affairs.

The funny thing is there are caucasians who will vote for McCain just because they want to keep a black from the white house at all cause.
