(CNSNews.com) - First lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., that her husband, President Barack Obama “believes strongly” that getting support and treatment for a mental health issue “isn’t a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength.”
“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.

“Getting Mental Health Treatment Is ‘Sign of Strength”
Yea, that must be why the FedGov forever discriminates against anyone who has seen a shrink once.
Obama should show us all how strong he is.
Why hasn’t he?
It's also an excuse to deny you your second amendment rights in about 33 states!* That's why she's trying to trick you into getting some!
*Full disclosure: I made the 33 states part up from whole cloth. But I'm sure it is true to SOME degree.
They will never go away, they are like the fing Clintons. Why don’t we hear about the Bush’s, Reagan or any other Republican?
And don’t forget the pharmacists...and the pills for life.
“Michelle Obama: ‘My Husband Believes Strongly’ Getting Mental Health Treatment Is ‘Sign of Strength’”
Then let him set the first example. As he should. Otherwise, work on getting back to your former roots, because both of you will have to live in the same country you’ve created for yourselves, and all others. The time you’ve spent squatting, and shaming our nation, in our WH...is almost up. God will deal with both of you, lest you REPENT!
It seems to me that a lot of ink has been used to talk about Jeb recently.
Anyone who would marry you definitely needs mental help!
Then please tell me when Moosechell and Boozo will be checking into the nearest mental health hospital...and it should be for life, its going to take many, many years to right the wrongs they have done......
yep , your husband needs a lot of Mental Health Treatment
In his case, it would have to consist of an exorcism.
Time for a Lobotomy Family Plan.
Hmmmmm ..?? That’s what I thought too.
Is she just putting this out there because that’s the next shoe to fall .. mental health ..??
Are they planning on starting funny farms .. just for you Conservatives and Tea Party people who are obviously out of your minds .. but if you have more than one mind .. you might be okay./s
I SMELL A RAT (DemocRAT).
So, mooch, mentally ill people are strong?
With all their flying about, maybe ‘the flight of the Big Bopper’ will recur?
Unless you’re gender confused or queer, then it’s a crime.
