You could see the guilt all over shrub's face today....

[luvspeas]

He looked like hell at the 9/11 memorial. Even though he's running around free, he obviously looks tortured. There may be some devine justice afterall.

1. You give WhistleAss far too much credit

I consider it more likely that he's merely displaying his annoyance at having to sit still in a place where he didn't want to be. I hold an unshakable belief that guilt is not in his emotional repertoire.

[Atman]

2. Guilt? A Bush feeling guilt?

They're genetically incapable of feeling guilt. Generations of criminality have bred remorse from their DNA.

4. I got an email from my teabagger B-i-L who said Bush got cheers and

Obama did not.

Is that true?

It would not be his first lie if not.

[DURHAM D]

6. Sadly its true. nt

[rfranklin]

9. It would be typical of the wingnuts in the crowd to cheer during a solemn occasion...

It's not "Queen for a Day," where the applause meter determines who is the winner. They are desperate to salvage their entire world view which was almost completely discredited at the end of Bush's occupation of the White House.

5. I thought he looked constipated. nt

7. Another Oxycontin lover ???

That's the big side effect....

[DURHAM D]

8. Sorry but, No.

I had no idea.

[Aaria]

10. Time wounds all heals.

[jpak]

11. Guilt? Try Hangover

yup

[Solly Mack]

12. No, you couldn't. That is just not possible.

[Divine Discontent]

13. I agree. Shame can do it. I tend to believe as others I've heard state, and you now, too, that he

looks like hell because he knows what went down on his watch...

was he suffering a hangover on the early morning of 9/11 when he sat there for 7 excruciatingly long minutes?!

14. He feels nothing for other people.

That has always been obvious.

[vets74]

15. Disdain.

16. Sociopaths typically are incapable of remorse. nt

17. I don't think sociopaths are capable of feeling guilt.

The idiot-in-chief IS a sociopath.


Profile of the Sociopath

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Incapacity for Love

Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
