Shrink in Chief

The Government has now put together a website for all the people with emotional distress because of the recession. Great now government is meddling in my mental health. Maybe we can break down the psychological problems our Commander in Chief has, using his own web site:

Possible Health Risks:
Depression - From all the Cabinet members who haven't paid taxes.
Anxiety - From the House Republicans not just going along with King Berry I
Compulsive Behaviors - Over spending, breaking campaign promises
Substance Abuse - Our money

Warning Signs:

It is important to be aware of signs that financial problems may be adversely affecting your emotional or mental well being --or that of someone you care about. These signs include:

Persistent Sadness/Crying - Cries out loud to Americans at least a couple times a week more than any President in my lifetime.
Excessive Anxiety - Easy to see that when you are the head of a major corporation ...oops I mean country.
Lack of Sleep/Constant Fatigue - Is this where his new found grey hair is coming from?
Excessive Irritability/Anger - Outbursts at press
Increased drinking - He does seem to have lots of "meetings" in the White House
Illicit drug use, including misuse of medications - Barry's drug is our money
Difficulty paying attention or staying focused - Teleprompter use
Apathy - not caring about things that are usually important to you - The American people
Not being able to function as well at work, school or home - This is obvious

Managing Stress
If you or someone you care about is experiencing these symptoms, you are not alone. These are common reactions to stress, and there are coping techniques that you can use to help manage it.

They include:
Trying to keep things in perspective - recognize the good aspects of life and retain hope for the future. - Hope and Change

Strengthening connections with family and friends who can provide important emotional support. - Talking with North Korea, Iran, terrorists

Engaging in activities such as physical exercise, sports or hobbies that can relieve stress and anxiety. - Didn't he just make his March madness picks?

Developing new employment skills that can provide a practical and highly effective means of coping and directly address financial difficulties. - CEO Obama

Getting Help

Even with these coping techniques, however, sometimes these problems can seem overwhelming and you may need additional help to get through "rough patches." Fortunately, there are many people and services that can provide help. These include your:

Healthcare provider - Hillary Clinton
Spiritual leader -Rev. Wright
School counselor - Bill Ayers
Community health clinic - Walter Reed

Maybe King Barry should spend a little more time working on the country an a little less time trying to be my therapist.
