Change You Can Conceive In: Could euphoric Obama fans be sparking a baby boom? (Obama babies)
Newsweek ^ | November 14, 2008 | Jessica Bennett

Posted on 12/21/2008 9:28:45 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The theory is almost too perfect to be true. Barack Obama, the son of politically progressive parents, was born Aug. 4, 1961—almost nine months to the day after John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House. Is it possible Obama was conceived on that historic night?

And if so, could history repeat itself? In the hours and days since Obama's victory, many of his exhilarated supporters have been, shall we say, in the mood for love. And though it's too soon to know for sure, experts aren't ruling out the possibility of an Obama baby boom—the kind of blip in the national birth rate that often follows a seismic event, whether it's scary (a terrorist attack) or celebratory (the end of World War II). "The mood of the country and the optimism about leadership is always somewhat related to birth rates," says Dr. Manny Alvarez, chief of reproductive science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. "I'm gearing up for a healthy increase."

Hope and euphoria, says University of Washington sociologist Pepper Schwartz, are a serious aphrodisiac. And voters under 30 went for Obama by a margin of 2 to 1. When you combine those two elements—randy people of child-bearing age—the likely result is what the online Urban Dictionary has already dubbed "Obama Babies" : children "conceived after Obama was proclaimed President, by way of celebratory sex." "If the amount of alcohol, happy people and major functions on election night is any indication, I suspect we'll indeed see a boom," says 25-year-old Brandon Mendelson, a graduate student in Albany, N.Y., who says he changed his vote at the last minute because "I wanted to be able to tell our future children that we voted for Obama."

And if you decided parenthood isn’t right for you after all, feel free to rip them out of the womb.

What a wonderful commercial that would make!

Oh, good grief! This garbage is just reaching. "Obama saves humanity! Jubilation over his victory sparks the urge to procreate!"

Do these writers actually believe this stuff?

The irony is that by turning Obama into some kind of supernatural savior, the media is just setting him up for failure. Just look at the smoking articles. "How can this be? Our beloved Messiah is addicted to cigarettes!"

Bush was always profiled in the media as a moron, a rube. He played this off effectively allowing adversaries to underestimate him. People have such lofty expectations for Obama and the media will only be able to sell so much blame on the outgoing Bush administration. Obama is being set up for a hard crash back to earth and the media is too busy worshipping the guy to realize that they're the ones doing it!

It's going to be fun to watch.

All right guys, I’ll be hitting up the clubs with my “Office of the President Elect” t-shirt next week to score with the ladies. I’ll let you know how it goes. Once I get the girl back to my place, I plan to seduce her with my Obama plate and coin collection (a piece of history!). No babe can resist his kind smile.

And how many of these babies will be aborted by their leftist parents? I’d imagine quite a few.

Yeah; lots of "single mothers" will be coming, in Third Generation Welfare "families".

Unfortunately, the "fathers", as usual, will be the American taxpayers in terms of who will pay for their support.

Interesting. And yet this morning I read where people are giving up their pets because they can't afford them.

Of course after 20 Jan, everyone will be rich, the temperature will stay an even 72 degrees year 'round and unicorns will begin to populate the wetlands again.

So really they have conceived for him then they will sacrifice to him.

It's the initiation sacrament for the religion of The One, you know.

You don’t have to guess. The stats are out there.

“...2004 General Social Survey as proof that liberals are vanishing. The survey reveals if you picked 100 unrelated politically liberal adults at random, you would find that they had, between them, 147 children. If, on the other hand, you picked 100 conservatives, you would find 208 kids — a “fertility gap” of a whopping 41 percent.”
