Sean Penn Not Endorsing Obama, Wants To Smoke

Sean Penn is heading up the jury for the Cannes Film Festival this year and is as outspoken as ever. The eccentric and politically-involved actor denied that he is supporting Barack Obama in the upcoming presidential election. He was asked about it during a pre-festival press conference.

"I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring. 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."

Penn also stated that he felt that Obama had a "phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional" voting record.

Penn's other concern at Cannes is that the French won't let him smoke. He said he'd been discouraged from smoking in public places due to France's recent ban. As he was saying this, bitch lit up a coffin nail and chain-smoked through the rest of the press conference. This is a guy who lives in a trailer, shoots guns and took a dinghy into New Orleans after Katrina. He's all about a Jack London/Ernest Hemingway/Dennis Hopper f*cked up on acid lifestyle.

I had the opportunity to meet Sean Penn at Coachella Music Festival a few weeks ago. I found him to be soft spoken and remarkably gracious. Unlike most celebrities that I have met, after meeting him Sean Penn's stock went up in my estimation.

at first i thought that casper comment said "Intern Traci Loving" and not interracial and I cracked up. I like mine better.

I like Sean Penn, but he's wrong on Obama's voting record. It's one thing if he just doesn't like the man, but Obama's voting record stands out from the others.

Sean Penn has been an amazing actor and outspoken on political views forever and I find him absolutely fabulous. I also think Hillary Clinton is fabulous and will win the nomination as soon as we all turn off the MSM and know that Obama is the winner... just like that one or two sports games you were watching and turned off in the last few seconds or minutes KNOWING who won and the next morning EVERYTHING CHANGED!

Go Hillary! GO! FIGHT! WIN!

Penn said: "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"

I thought Penn was smarter than this than to say something as stupid as this. Obama has an excellent voting record as someone else mentioned. Penn knows this and is not being honest. I detect something else behind Penn's comments. If he supports someone else, just say so. But to criticize Obama without a valid reason is stupid.

Whatever the case, Obama is the nominee and is gaining momentum on McCain.
