Thanks for the correction :) - just a figure of speech. A lot of people would take offense to being called a sociopath (even though its not always a harmful condition). I guess I would "hate to say it" because its potentially shameful that we elect people like this to lead our nation (or maybe we need people like this, I don't know)? Again, I cannot make any definitive judgments without a full, undeniably accurate account of their behavior. Even if not being murderers, it can be dangerous to have a sociopath in the President's seat because (among other things) a full-blown sociopath would not hesitate to enrich or empower themselves at the expense of others (i.e. the nation), by making poor decisions based off of lobbied cash.

On the other hand, it seems to me like certain sociopathic behaviors would be ideal for someone in the position of the President. Boldness, ruthlessness, and a lack of empathy would all be helpful getting things done, even if they are unseemly or unpleasant.
