Asked if he would be joining other Hollywood A-listers in pledging support for Obama, Penn gave him a less than ringing endorsement and warned that he has an awful lot to live up to.

"'I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,' he said, but went on to accuse him of a 'phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional' voting record.
"'I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be,' Penn said."
Too bad the press didn't go more in-depth on the "inhuman and unconstitutional" comment. I'd be interested to know what exactly he was referencing.
As for Penn's last sentence, didn't really make much sense: "If he doesn't become a greater man than he ever will be." HUH?? LOL, goofy Sean Penn.

  I hear he's been on steroids for a while now, maybe his balls have shrunk as much as they can and now his brain is shrinking?

    A heartfelt opinion indeed - clearly based on empathy and personal experience.
    You indeed have my commiseration, sir or madam or neutered entity.

As much as I dont like BHO, I like Sean "Wingnut" Penn even less. I am sure BHO is shaking in his boots with a WARNING from a sackless libtard like Penn.
oh wait, BHO is a typical liberal clown so I am sure he is really upset that Penn is not happy.
Classic!

  "As for Penn's last sentence, didn't really make much sense: "If he doesn't become a greater man than he ever will be." HUH?? LOL, goofy Sean Penn."
  Actually makes perfect sense. Break it down - Penn is saying that Obama has generated so much hope-hype that his supporters will be greatly disappointed unless his leadership after the election rises to meet the mark of his hype before the election.
  Penn is also suggesting that Obama doesn't have it in him for his leadership to rise to the level of his hype.
  Funny that Penn is getting bashed for this. I would have expected that the list's reactionary dull-normals would be in agreement one hundred percent.

      If I owned a bong, it is threads like this that would inspire me to make use of it.
      Hell is unlikely to freeze over, and pigs will never fly. These are still useful expressions. Penn's point is actually the same as yours; for Obama to not disappoint those who look to him as some sort of messiah, he will have to be greater than he in fact ever will be. This is impossible, and so his faithful followers will inevitably be disappointed if he does make it to the White House.

I am a little confused...In the article they say they think this is one of the most important elections in history, or words to that effect, but then say they do not have a candidate. What did I miss here?

Personally, I am phenomenally disillusioned that Sean Penn hasn't become a greater actor than he ever should have been.

  That's a statement I'd go along with.
  Penn's early promise, on-screen, has not yet amounted to a "great" career, by any means.

  Oh I dont know bout that.
  WE Christian Conservatives LOVE Hollywood.
  We believe in it. And we vote the way Hollywood tells us.
  Thats why we always vote for Actors that become politicans.
  Well, liek Ronald Reagan, Ahnold Swartzenagger, Fred Grandy, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bono, James Cavieziel, Mel Gibson, Kelsey Grammer, and Jesse Ventura.
  Fact is, if we Righties see you on TV - thats as good as bein blessed by Jesus.

      Ahh .. don't interrupt guppy when he's cutting and pasting from his liberal sources.
      Ventura wasn't Republican, and James Cavieziel, Mel Gibson and Kelsey Grammer never ran for office.
      Guppy's never been one to let facts in his way when he's ranting.

        Its liek, NOBUDY is right wing enough for you. Even when they donate and stump for Republicans.
        Sigh ...

        Ohh Don't you worry, Guppy, if Al Franken can pay his back taxes and penalties for screwing his employees out of workers compensation and unemployment coverage, he just might win that run for U.S. Senate.
        Then, of course, Alec Baldwin is talking about running, too. But, he needs to stop screaming and berating his lil daughter, first. Poor girl. Daddy Baldwin is sooooo mean to her.

        Well Goopy, I didn't recognize a couple of their names, from acting or politics. And I hadn't heard of Kelsey Grammer running for anything, but that doesn't mean he isn't running for Mayor of Seal Beach or something. It's best to comment on the things you know about, you should try it sometime.
