The First Lady has been out of the spotlight for a while but unfortunately she’s back with a vengeance and a whole new cause ~ Michelle Obama: ‘My Husband Believes Strongly’ Getting Mental Health Treatment Is ‘Sign of Strength.’
 
Of course my first response to this revelation was “Great! He’s getting help then?” But no, she wasn’t referring to her husband. Mrs. Obama was addressing a summit on emotional distress awareness yesterday at the Newseum in Washington D.C. ~
 

“It’s time to tell everyone who’s dealing with a mental health issue that they’re not alone, and that getting support and treatment isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength,” said Mrs. Obama. “That’s something that my husband believes strongly as president, because in this country when you’re fighting an illness whether that’s mental or physical you should be able to get the help you need, end of story.”
 

“That’s why the Affordable Care Act expands mental health and substance abuse benefits and parity protections for roughly 60 million Americans, and it requires new plans to cover things like depression screenings for adults and behavioral assessments for kids,” she said.

 
Yesterday’s event’ “Campaign to Change Direction,” was developed to create a new story in America about mental health, mental illness and wellness. What was wrong with the old story, you may be wondering? It wasn’t expensive enough.
 
Apparently the U.S. is not self-destructing fast enough to suit the White House, so we must overwhelm the system further ala Cloward-Piven.
 
Social Security will be broke by next year, healthcare is already less available and less affordable than it was two years ago, and the National Debt has topped 18 trillion. Let’s find new ways to implode the economy!

 
Instead, Michelle, here’s a suggestion, maybe we could save a few bucks and have everyone watch this short video from rapper Prince Ea. He has some great advice for your husband – and anyone else who’s struggling with depression. All totally true. And totally free ~
 

[I don’t mean to make light of clinical depression – which is obviously serious and can be truly disabling. But the progressive crowd couldn’t care less. Notice there’s no effort being made to determine the root causes of mental illness… All they know how to do is exacerbate problems and spend, spend, spend.]
