My apologies in advance for mentioning this story. But it just goes to show how idiotic the media can be. Who are these people that expected a baby boom after the November election. Are they for real? What would they have called the new generation, the BamaBoomers? Ugh.
Anyhoo, their predictions failed to materialize. HopeandChange did not result in a surge in births. Most likely, Americans are simply terrified of bringing children into the world at this time. Who can blame them?
Warning, do not read the following excerpt from the Chicago Tribune if you have a weak stomach.
On Nov. 4, the hope and happiness seemed boundless for supporters of President-elect Barack Obama, leading some to speculate, with a wink and a nod, that in nine months there would be a virtual Obama baby boom — a celebratory uptick in the national birthrate.
But now, 40 weeks later — the average human gestation period — MSNBC is reporting the prediction has largely been nothing more than, well, false hope. In reality, experts said, a generation is not borne from one night.
In Chicago, ground zero for Obama’s election celebration, area hospitals confirm that they have not seen a noticeable surge in births.
I don’t know what is worse. The fact this was even reported on or the fact that anyone expected this to happen?
