"Serial killers and politicians share traits"
National Examiner ^ | June 12 | Jim Kouri

"Psychopathy is a personality disorder manifested in people who use a mixture of charm, manipulation, intimidation, and occasionally violence to control others, in order to satisfy their own selfish needs. Although the concept of psychopathy has been known for centuries, the FBI leads the world in the research effort to develop a series of assessment tools, to evaluate the personality traits and behaviors attributable to psychopaths.

Interpersonal traits include glibness, superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, and the manipulation of others. The affective traits include a lack of remorse and/or guilt, shallow affect, a lack of empathy, and failure to accept responsibility. "

Makes sense to me.

I saw the program on Kansas serial killer BTK.

BTK took several years off from his serial killing when he was able to satisfy his needs as a ordinance enforcer and petty tyrant.

Obama ranks #1 among all U.S. presidents in his psychopathic tendencies. One could easily find at least 10 supporting examples of Obama exhibiting every one of the characteristics described.

Thanks. I think people have a distorted picture of what a psychopath is. If they knew, they would see it in their politicians, celebrities and media.
