Recent Photos Of Michel Bennett, Former Haitian First Lady
Monday July 19, 2010 07:29 AM ET
The "Haitian Joudalist" just received these latest pictures of our former First Lady, Michel Bennett. The pictures are Courtesy of Marie Toussaint and content, wikipedia.org.
What do you think about our former first Lady?
Do you think her marriage with Jean-Claude was good for Jean-Claude of Michel?
Do you think the marriage caused the ultimate exile of the Duvalier?
Do you think Michel was a modest person?
What do you think about her personality? Do you think she was obligated to be the way she was in order to protect her family?
Duvalier's marriage resulted in the exile of Baby Doc's mother, Simone Duvalier, and created new factional alliances within the ruling group.
The million-dollar wedding would be remembered as the young dictator's symbolic alliance with the mulatto elite — the very families Jean-Claude's father had decimated. Papa Doc's widow had been opposed to the match, and in this she was joined by almost all of the "dinosaurs", the Duvalierist Old Guard.
Haitians feared the new First Lady because her power appeared to exceed her husband's. While Jean-Claude often dozed through Cabinet meetings, his wife, frustrated at his political ineptitude, reprimanded ministers herself.

Well, these pictures look the same as they were 20 + years ago. Someone trashy who did not deserve to be a first lady. Frankly, I dont' give a F.... about what she looks like and what kind of life she's having. As far I am concern, they can all go to hell including her baby doc.
