    Mr. Wisner, a Campaign Coordinator during Madam Sirleaf’s second term bid in the 2011 election is illustrating his fear for Ambassador Weah participation in the senatorial election comes 2014. The election of 2014 has rules; therefore, kindly wait and see.

    Why do some people assume that CDC will run of our country? There is a formidable group of experienced Liberians back home, Europe, and America that are building a coalition to lead our country. CDC, as a political institution, isn't the problem, it's Weah. Any Liberian that can seriously look in the mirror, ask themselves if Weah truly has the fabric to lead, and says and emphatic yes, should be examined.

    Wisner go and find something to do. Those of you who see yourself as critics to Mr. Weah are not serious for reconciliation. To criticize Mr. Weah will proof nothing for you guys. We who are in the majority supports the move by the President for the appointment of Mr. Weah. You guys go find something meaningful to do.
