	Online NewsHour: President Rene Preval of Haiti -- March 21, 1996
		PRESIDENT PREVAL: (speaking through interpreter) Like President Clinton, we are much encouraged by the fact that for the first time in Haiti an elected President has succeeded another elected President.
		PRESIDENT PREVAL: (speaking through interpreter) Not only was the President satisfied with that, but his team, the U.S. aid team and people from the IMF, or World Bank, whom we have already met and whom we will meet officially tomorrow morning, are satisfied.
		PRESIDENT PREVAL: (speaking through interpreter) We never had a plan to redistribute the wealth of the elite to the masses, to the population.

	Haiti - The President (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		As a young writer, long before he became president, François Duvalier identified the historical "mania for the presidency" as the disease of "presidentitis." Earlier generations of Haitian intellectuals had also bemoaned the destructive social effects of the presidency-for-life.

		Presidents could therefore claim with some justification that they were the state.Political parties and candidates also focused on the presidency.
