You would condense the psychobabble by eliminating a category. Actually, that is precisely what a significant faction of the shrinks (APA not AMA, to bisect another hair ;-)) want to do as they redefine their DSM. The proposed DSM-5 reduces the number of personality disorders to six from ten. The distinction between narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders remains intact. The shrinks don't use the term 'sociopath' so I think we can agree to broaden the definition to include both disorders.

Gory details here:

I prefer to simply define the jackass occupying the Oval Office as a miserable, misanthropic motherfucker (just to get my alliterative licks in. ;-))

Splitting hairs, my dear Due.

We can reach common ground by dropping the term 'narcissist' - and simply use this:

Sociopaths are completely self-centered and self-absorbed people - they care nothing about other people whatsoever. Obama falls fully into this category.


That avoids the psycho-babble routine from the AMA about what 'narcissism' actually is.
