Input: Wyclef Jean for president? 
  
 There are reports that the musician is mulling a run for the top office in Haiti. Reached by phone, Jean told CNN that talk of a campaign is a bit premature as he is still mulling it over. 
  
 “I can’t sing forever,” Jean said. 
  
 The Canadian publication Le Droit reported over the weekend that Jean would be throwing his hat into the political ring in his native homeland. But Jean told CNN that such reports reflect him being "drafted" but he hasn't decided for sure yet. 
  
 He added that he has filled out the necessary paperwork in case he does decide to move forward with a candidacy. Jean has been an outspoken proponent of Haiti through his Yele Haiti Foundation and was one of the first celebrities to offer aid after the devastating earthquake. 
  
 "Wyclef's commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward," said a statement released by his foundation. "At this time, Wyclef Jean has not announced his intent to run for Haitian president. If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately. Please let us know if we can help with anything else." ||||| Singer Wyclef Jean is considering a run for president of Haiti but has not decided whether to seek a five-year term as leader of the quake-ravaged nation, the musician's family said Monday.

 There have been rumors for some time the Haitian-born entertainer might enter the 2010 presidential contest, ever since his 2007 appointment as ambassador-at-large for the Caribbean nation by President Rene Preval, who cannot seek re-election. 
  
 In a statement e-mailed to reporters, the family said, "Wyclef's commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward ... If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately." 
  
 The letter was signed "The Jean Family." A spokeswoman for the musician confirmed the message's authenticity. 
  
 Jean, 37, was born on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince but left the hemisphere's poorest country as a child and grew up in New York City's borough of Brooklyn. 
  
 He told The Associated Press in a recent interview he intended to be involved in the Nov. 28 election, but not necessarily as a candidate. 
  
 "Do I have political intentions? At this time no. But what I do have is a movement _ it's called Face a Face, 'Face to Face'," Jean said. "The youth population ... we are going to encourage them to vote." 
  
 The singer has been active in recent years in raising money through his Yele Haiti Foundation. The organization was widely criticized for alleged financial irregularities after the Jan. 12 quake, when scrutiny revealed it had paid Jean to perform at fundraising events and bought advertising air time from a television station he co-owns. 
  
 The organization hired a new accounting firm after the allegations surfaced. 
  
 Jean, who said he voted for Preval in 2006, would not have an easy road as a candidate. Haitian elections are contentious and often violent. 
  
 Dozens of candidates are expected to declare themselves by the Aug. 7 deadline. Preval's opponents have threatened to block the Nov. 28 vote if he does not replace the presidentially approved electoral council, which he has refused to do. 
  
 To enter the race, Jean would have to prove he has resided in Haiti for five consecutive years, own property in the country and have never been a citizen of any country other than Haiti. 
  
 Whoever wins will face the gargantuan task of rebuilding a country devastated by the Jan. 12 earthquake. Haiti has not had a functioning economy in decades and its presidents have only rarely completed a constitutional five-year term _ more typically being overthrown, getting assassinated, declaring themselves "president-for-life" or some combination of the three. ||||| According to an anonymous source and the rumor mill in general, Fugees maestro Wyclef Jean is going to announce his candidacy for President of Haiti. Hmm. Does Haiti care that he's had a few problems lately? 
  
 One newspaper has cited "a source close to the government" in Port-au-Prince as saying that Wyclef is planning to run. The rumor's been floating around long enough that Wyclef felt compelled to say on Twitter last week, "Just to Clear up the rumors I have not announce to the Press that I'm Running for President of Haiti." 
  
 Which, you'll notice, clears up nothing, and sounds an awful lot like a cagey way of saying he'll announce that very thing at a later date. He's also been engaged in political-type activities like ringing the opening Nasdaq bell and writing op-eds about Haiti's future. His spokesperson's non-denial from last weekend says it all: "I know there's always rumours flying (around), but we don't have anything definitive on our end, so if anything were to change, I'm sure a press release would be issued." 
  
 So, assuming Wyclef does decide to run, here are a few items from our very own John Cook for the press to ask him about: 
  
 He paid his alleged mistress more than $100,000 through his charity, Yele Haiti. 
  
 He demanded a $100,000 fee to appear at a fundraiser for his own hometown. 
  
 Yele Haiti, which boosted Wyclef's own visibility greatly following the Haiti earthquake, is generally shady, or, at the very least, poorly run. 
  
 And what, if anything, was his role in making Lauryn Hill go crazy? That was a tragedy of the highest order. 
  
 Wyclef's music is great. But as we've learned here in the USA, musicians don't always make the greatest politicians. |||||
Output:
If the rumor mill is to be believed, Haiti could soon have a Fugee for a president. Wyclef Jean, who was appointed ambassador-at-large for his native country in 2007, is considering a run for the five-year position, but reports vary on how serious he is. His family recently released a statement saying his “commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless,” and that “if and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately,” the AP reports. Canadian paper Le Droit goes a bit further, citing sources who claim Jean just needs his paperwork to be finalized by the deadline next week, the National Post reports. Jean tells CNN that he’s still deciding, but he’s filled out the paperwork just in case. Gawker points to a vague not-quite-denial of the rumors Jean issued on Twitter, as well as a series of “political-type activities” he’s been engaging in lately…and a list of shadier activities that will likely come up should he run.
