You know, even by Sean Penn standards, this is pretty cryptic. On Barrack Obama:
â€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…”

You know, at this point, I’d happily trade the potential disillusionment of an Obama presidency — if, let’s say, he was unable to effect all the changes that he’s promised — for the constant barrage of disillusionment that’s been George W. Bush’s game plan from day one. Hell, I’d almost be happy just to elect a president who doesn’t think giving up his golf game represents some kind of ultimate display of solidarity. (Unlike, let’s say, ending the war, or even attending a few military funerals.)
Speaking of which:
you’re right. I was prepared to settle for “barely competent.” Anything else is gravy.
