Jiskounyea, moun ap diskite pou wè si Meriken pwal vote pou Ileri Klinton malgre se fanm li ye.

She won't be the next one. That will be Obama or Mc Cain.

N'est il pas venu le temps où Barack Obama devrait etre élu président. Je pense que les américains ont besoin d'un changement , d'un réel espoir. On a eu droit à Bush Père et fils, J'ai un doute pour Mme Clinton ( son mari a été président).
