No, he won’t have the support of Obama, because the professional black left supports Aristide and considers Duvalier to be a right-wing CIA puppet.

Dirty little secret is that the streets were clean and there were jobs and tourists under Papa and Baby. Haitians are likely to view him as a potential savior.

All do-gooders should be required to memorize Heart of Darkness.
