We're talking about how this man interacts with other human beings. It's kind of an important feature of being the President of the fucking United States. And don't give me this shit about 'well, lots of people are nervous in a crowd' - sure they are, and none of 'em are fit to fill the job Mitt Romney is gunning for.
I want a president who does not look at children the same way that I look at the selection at a Baskin Robbins. I want a president who is capable of acting like a human being instead of a putrefying mackerel in the company of people outside his "caste." I want a president that can speak to the president of Norway and the president of South Sudan on equal parts, instead of one who asks the latter to carry the former's luggage.
Sure, there are lots of other issues. But pretending that sociopathy isn't an issue when we're talking about the leadership position of our nation is really dumb
