Most republican presidents are CEO's or entrepreneurs, and many CEO's and entrepreneurs are psychopaths.

Psychopaths are callous and show a lack of empathy (they are uncaring), they have a lack of emotion (especially the social emotions, such as shame, guilt, and embarrassment.) Psychopaths are selfish, have an incapacity for love, have a low threshold for discharge of aggression (including violence), and they have an inability to plan for the future.
What Is a Psychopath? | Psychology Today

Psychopathy and sociopathy are mental disorders. Should people with mental disorders be running our country?

In America's past men respected political leaders for their military service, their principles, and their integrity. But today's men (especially republicans) respect political leaders for how much money they have, and respect men if they are business CEO's, and it does not matter if they are psychopaths, sociopaths, draft dodgers, liars, or hypocrites.

Obama seems immune to bipartisanship. Listening to him rip on the GOP while wagging his finger for them to come up with a solution for the border problem was astounding. Even Boehner, usually a lump of indifferent nothingness, acted like an angry politician over that one.

We definitely need a President who will take responsibility for his job.
Obama does compromise with congress. In reality its the "Tea Party" candidates that refuse to compromise.

Obama tries to meet the republicans 1/2 way, but the republicans refuse to negotiate.

chads's definition of normal. Someone who lives off the tax payer.

Psychopath: chad3's definition, someone who works and pays their own way.

And by the way chad3. Obama "ain't" nothing, a cry baby that points blame at everyone else is nothing. If he didn't screw so much he wouldn't have to blame would he now.

Most of the presidents didn't know how much a loaf of bread cost.. they are really out of touch.. I admired Ross Perot... even though he was rich he live modestly and understands that pomp creates pompous people and most of those who love power are pompous especially Obama with his nose up in the air.

Gene Simmons is not part of the 1%. He actually has to perform on a stage. The 1% merely breath.

He isn't wealthy. If he was he wouldn't be speaking of it.
Those in the 1% - actually the .01% - don't think such thoughts as Simmons - he is a pompous ass and full of himself. He is nouveau rich and his words/actions scream such. Do Gates, Buffet, Soros or others carry on about their wealth as does Gene Simmons any chance he gets? Paul McCartney is many times wealthier than Simmons and he doesn't stumpthump about the fact. Simmons is insecure and feels a need to rub it into the faces of his fans. Those fans need to find new heroes. Let KISS die, dry up and blow away.

The Obamas are not .01% but have money. They are nowhere near poor and they have no idea of how the average American lives his/her life. Car payments, mortgages and utility bills haven't passed through their hands in decades.

The USA will never have a poor POTUS - it's impossible.

My definition of "normal" is its definition in the dictionary.
normal- conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

And my definition of "psychopath" would come from a psychological/scientific based source like this one.
What Is a Psychopath? | Psychology Today


And look at your criticisms of Obama, they contain only "social talk" with no connection to reality, much like your observations about my (personal) definition of normal and psychopath.

Obama has cut GW Bush's deficits and national debt growth rates in 1/2. And Obama has reduced government spending more than any president in the last 60 years.

But none of the facts above mean anything to republicans. Republicans are about ignoring all facts that go against the teachings of Fox news and Rush radio, and then spinning the facts that go against Fox/Rush teachings.

Republicans are also about posting Fox/Rush soundbites that have no source other than the "Great Leader" Rush Limbaugh's mouth.

Corporations, which are persons, have the liberty of anonymity.

The constitution grants them more rights than it does for individual persons.

It's in the constitution; ask Justice Roberts.

Republicans sicken me.

This source shows how when the "Great Leader" Rush Limbaugh says something, conservative activists, commentators, and republicans in Washington all follow the "Great Leaders" lead. (Notice how all the republicans in Washington knew what the "Great Leader" said.)
