What presidential criteria do Weah possess? You are quite correct that he is capable of taking Liberia to a place where no one has ever taken it because his presidency will be the worst of all. At this current stage in Liberia, no, we do not need to use any try and error method on anyone and secondly, six years is not a small year to play around. Weah couldn’t speak to the common Liberians without blundering, do you think he will be able to sit and talk with presidents around the world freely? Or attending meeting with international partners, please man, that guy is really green when it comes to presidential affairs. Let him be who he is and forget about contesting any election. He is George Manneh Weah and people love him for that.

Weah though is not too educated but has the country at heart This is the part I like to read...this is why, I mean why some people think he got to rule...because "he got the country at heart".

Krazzy, as for his being sexy, I think that's why he shouldn't cause the massion will be full of fornication and adultery! Let him be on the field where we can eat our hearts out for him

Why is Africa's greatest soccer star hanging out in Weston?

It was just past 10 on a Sunday morning at Sunview Park near Fort Lauderdale,
and world soccer icon and former Liberian presidential candidate George
Weah was running late. The man known as "King George" in his native
Liberia arrived in a black Mercedes to play for Croatia-Florida, a team
in the over-30 division of the Gold Coast Soccer League.

Weah, 41, lives in Weston, but his resume suggests he should be playing
somewhere more glamorous, like Paris, Milan, London or Monaco, cities
where he was a soccer superstar during a 14-year career that earned him
millions.

"It's a small world because once you start exploring, you bring a lot
of things your way," Weah says of his amateur team. "The guys here are
friendly; they're good people. I love them and they love me. They
respect me and I respect them. And I enjoy every Sunday morning. It's a
way to keep in shape. I enjoy it."

Weah was voted FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995 while playing for
Italian giant AC Milan, the only African to win the award from the
world governing body. In 2000, he was voted African Player of the
Century by soccer journalists. A year later, as a player-coach, he
nearly led Liberia to what would have been its only World Cup
appearance, spending nearly $2 million of his own money.

Now, Weah lives in Weston with his wife, Clar, and their children
Antoinette, 14, and Timothy, 8. He has two older children, George Jr.,
21, and Martha, 22. Weah plays in the recreation league when he isn't
traveling to homes in New York and Monrovia, Liberia, or crossing the
globe on behalf of humanitarian causes.

"[Soccer] is something in your blood you don't forget," says Croatia-Florida manager Kruno Krslovic, of Coral Springs.

"It's fun for him. It's something to do. We're enjoying him. He's an
ex-superstar who ran for president, but he's the most average and fun
person to be around."

Croatia-Florida teammates describe him as humble and a regular person.
Opponents want their picture taken with him after games. A Frenchman
who plays for Tamarac couldn't wait to call his family in Paris to tell
them he had just played against "Mr. Weah."

He retired from pro soccer in 2003 and found himself running for president of Liberia two years later.

Weah was born the third of 13 children in a Monrovia ghetto, raised
primarily by his grandmother. His soccer skills provided the escape
from a country bloodied by a 14-year civil war (1979-93) that resulted
in the deaths of more than 200,000 Liberians, including Weah's brother
Bobby. Liberians turned to Weah to lead them, petitioning him in 2004
to run for president despite his lack of political experience.

"I'm a true living example of all the things that happen in life," Weah
says. "Born in the ghetto, things were difficult, but I changed my
life, I became positive in life. I could have used all of the anger I
grew up in and suppressed people, but instead I understood the
opportunity that was given to me, and I should help."

Weah won the first round of voting among 22 candidates and was forced
into a runoff against Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, a Harvard graduate and
former World Bank official.

Johnson-Sirleaf won by 18 percentage points to become the first woman
to be elected president in Africa. Weah says he will run again in 2009.

"I will [run] again because of what I represent for my country," Weah says. "... People believe in me, and I believe in them."

Weah runs two organizations in Liberia: the George Weah Children's
Foundation, which pays school fees for children, and the Global
Institute of Vocational Education, which develops career opportunities
for young people, including former child soldiers who were forced to
fight in Liberia's civil war. Weah was a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
until his run for president and has worked to fight the spread of
HIV/AIDS in Africa. He received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the
2004 ESPY Awards for his efforts.

Weah has lived part time in the United States since buying a home in
New York in 1989. He met his wife in New York 15 years ago, and by the
end of his career he was shuttling to games in Europe on the Concorde.

Weah came to South Florida four years ago on vacation and liked the
tropical climate so much that he bought a home in Weston. He says his
youngest child, Timothy, is an emerging goal-scoring phenom in a
Pembroke Pines youth league, while his daughter Antoinette attends
Indian Ridge Middle School in Davie. Weah says he has a "normal"
suburban life.

"I take my kids to the mall. Do schoolwork. Visit one or two friends," he says.

The comforts of Weston couldn't be more removed from Liberia, where the
life expectancy for males is 41 years. Liberia was rated the world's
worst place to live by The Economist in
2003, which is all the more reason why Weah seems determined to become
president, even if it means giving up his American luxuries.

"I love my country, and I want my country to do better than other
countries," he says. "Ghana is close to us. Ghana is 10 times more
developed than our country."

Regardless of what happens in 2009, Weah's mission isn't going to
change. Soccer has afforded him the platform to advocate on behalf on
millions of Liberians. But, he says, the game didn't change his
essential nature, which is to help people.

"Whether I was a community leader, or a professional soccer player, I
know that I want to be involved and play my part," he says. "...We have
to give back. That is a big responsibility. One opportunity deserves
another."

I know for sure we are pass the try and error stage for choosing leaders for Liberia and unless something drastic or proof of his leadership skills and experience is seen, becoming president will continue to be his DREAM.
