MSNBC - President Obama's Election Fails To Increase U.S. Fertility Rates

[TomCADem]

I really wish I were kidding, but MSNBC seriously has on their frontpage:

After Barack Obama won the presidential election on Nov. 4, 2008, supporters around the country celebrated in bars, in parks — and maybe, in the bedroom. Bloggers wrote about champagne and hope, and noting that voters of child-bearing age tended to go Democratic, predicted a baby boom.

Nine months later, babies born out of that election night euphoria should be making their way into the world right now. If an Obama baby boom is true, that is.

Perhaps we are being too harsh on the birthers and folks being mislead by astroturf efforts. Maybe too much network news just sucks the intelligence out of you.

1. unreal

[mikiturner]

3. Exactly what I was going to say

[quakerboy]

25. yup

6. OUTRAGE! Obama's "Stimulus" Didn't Work!! OUTRAGE!!

[Cha]

31. Fauxrage!

THey don't have anything to blame on him this week so the corpmediawhores are going with "the population is down under Pres Obama"..freakin' idiots..like that's not a good thing.

[scheming daemons]

7. People who voted for Obama are enlightened enough to use birth control

The people who DON'T use birth control were DEPRESSED that night and not likely to have any sexual intercourse.

[damntexdem]

8. But don't forget that Obama supporters are more likely to use protection.

And to plan their families.

9. WOW!!!

[Arkana]

10. But...but...Rush told me that every black woman was going to name her

baby "Barack" and then abort it in his honor!

WHY DID MAXIMUM LEADER RUSH LIE TO MEEEEEEE???????!!!!!!

[JuniperLea]

11. My friend's baby was born yesterday...

And the hospital was full of babies. Still, they are really reaching for something to pin on Obama! LOL!

Seems to me that a lot of people have been scared out of having babies by the Bush administration. Who really wants to bring a child into the screwed up world Bush left us?

[surrealAmerican]

24. That and, who can afford to?

Perhaps after we have some sort of national health insurance we'll see a boom.

[LynneSin]

12. D'uh, perhaps because Liberals believe in Sex Education and Birth Control

:crazy:

[vaberella]

13. Obama has fucked up the art of fucking in the US? Repubs should be happy; celibacy is in effect. n/t

[HopeOverFear]

15. ROFL

[PretzelWarrior]

14. Let's call it Copulation-gate. Where's the CHANGE?

the baby boom that wasn't.

[dave29]

16. As Moving as the night was, I can honestly say it did not really... turn me on

Maybe that's just me

[onenote]

17. stupid as it seems, there were a number of stories in November predicting an Obama 'baby boom'

Some predicted a wave of babies named for Obama, while other predicted a surge in births in August. I suppose its predictable that those stupid stories would engender their own stupid stories nine months later.
