Vice President Joe Biden closed out a mental health conference at the White House Monday afternoon with a message of support to those affected by mental illness.
"Let's use this moment to send a message to tens of millions of Americans, especially the young people and parents of young people all over this country," Biden said during remarks delivered in the White House's South Court Auditorium. "There's nothing, nothing to be ashamed of if you're struggling with mental issues. ... It's OK to talk about it, it's OK to ask for help, it's OK to acknowledge that it's frightening."

That's what I keep on telling myself. And there are some days when those different colored pills make me feel, like, yeah, I can handle the football. I've got the code book with me. So, what's there to be ashamed of? Heck, Stanley Kubrick would be proud.

...its OK to get that diagnosis entered into your medical records, so that the IRS commissioner who oversees your health care can forward it to the ATF and FBI for the NICS database.

I do not think Joe Biden is crazy, but he is a mental midget. The boy just aint smart.

I still remember when the democrat party selected “crazy old Joe” as VP on the Presidential ticket to be the “gravitas” behind an inpexperienced but smooth talking community organizer known as Barack O’bama
How low we have fallen as a nation, to have such flawed men as our “leaders”. How very very low

That’s silly. It’s like saying there’s nothing to be ashamed of if you’re Joe Biden.

Don't forget who these people are.
As nice as they sound now, they don't care about your mental health care. Not one little bit.
Their true intentions are something else entirely.
Here, here, don't be afraid, come out of the shadows, we will get you the care you need, we only want to KNOW WHO YOU ARE so we can put you in a NATIONAL DATABASE to make sure you or your family members CAN NOT OWN GUNS.

Joe's new slogan.
Don't be afraid to get yourself on
antidepressants.
No one that I know of would ever make fun of a mentally ill person, Joe. Now, all sides do have hateful people that will say anything at any given time though that's called- free speech. Your choice to be civil or not.
