Sean Penn is Right About Barack Obama
Finally, someone cuts through all the bull about Barack Obama and says what Crabbie has been saying (not on my blog because I'm not supposed to write about politics on here) for weeks...that the people who support Obama are building this guy up way too much, and will only be incredibly disappointed later on when they realize he's not actually a messiah but merely a politician.

The cold bucket of water was delivered at the Cannes Film Festival by noted lefty Sean Penn:

"I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring,” Penn said, but went on to accuse Obama 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. “This is the most important election, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe ever.”

Disillusionment? It will be a ing pitchforks-and-torches situation. "We thought you were so wonderful Barack and you betrayed us with your political compromises!"

But all presidents end up making those compromises...it's just the way the game is played. I hope - hope - that the Obama supporters will understand this...but I have a feeling a lot of them, the most unrealistic ones, will choose to be angry instead.
