MediaTakeOut.com: Michelle Obama considering having another baby?!

[BluegrassDem]

MediaTakeOut, for those who don't know, is the most famous black site on the web. They do have a mixed record as far as scoops and "exclusive reports," but it's not totally off the wall, so I figured I'd post it.

http://www.mediatakeout.com/2008/28588-explosive_report_michelle_obama_seriously_considering_having_another_child.html

Here's an excerpt from the report:

"The truth is, after Malia was born, both Michelle and Barack were hoping to give her a little brother," said the friend. "But when they found out Michelle was going to deliver another girl, all that mattered to them was that Sasha would be healthy." ....

Although the couple had for years put thoughts of another child o the back burner, after Barack's election win on Nov. 4, Michelle realized that anything is possible, says the friend.

Her friends in Chicago have been encouraging her to go for it, but she hasn't come to any conclusion because - as she says - her life has already turned 'upside down.'""

1. I wish she would.. It would sure put the "what's she going to DO?" nonsense

on the back burner, and it would be wonderful historically too.. to have a child born to a half-black president, serving & living in a house built by slaves..

They can surely afford to have another child, and there would be plenty of help :)

If they want to.. I say GO FOR IT !!..time's awasting, since she's past 40..

[grannie4peace]

2. my daughter said she saw a baby bump on the night of the election--

i laughed but know it could be true :):):)

[Bucky]

6. That would be a *terrorist* baby bump on Fox, of course

[POAS]

3. Predicting the right wing take

Limbaugh: "Now listen up folks cuz this is important. So the Obamas are "with child" as they say and now we have the specter of, well should I say this..let me say it this way.. the specter of a baby unlike any other born in the White House.

Now as we all know the "DISTRICT" of Columbia is not a State, nor is it a part of any other State. They don't get to have a Senator, hell they don't even get a "REAL" member of the House.

Now I know the knee jerk liberal media will take this all out of context and I'll be crucified on MSNBC for this but it must be asked, and that is all I am doing here folks, just asking a question.

Will the alleged Obama baby...oh did I say alleged???..let me go back...will the Obama baby really be a citizen?

You heard it hear first folks, if the Obamas have another baby something like this will vomit from Limbaugh's mouth

[Bucky]

5. Heh, you're pretty good at that

This is how he fills up two whole hours of air time every day: dramatic pauses and hollow innuendo.

[POAS]

7. Thanks but the odd thing is

except for a few sound bite sentences from places like the "Countdown" I've never actually listened to him. If I accidentally hear his voice while searching the AM band I immediately switch.

[Frustratedlady]

9. POAS: Don't do that very often....

You are too good at it and you woke up all those venomous feelings I get whenever I hear Rush on the air.

That is not a good thing. Trust me! :evilgrin:

[polichick]

4. She'll be 45 in January - it would have to be soon.

[MoonRiver]

20. It's probably way too late. But I doubt she wants another child.

Of all the couples who would be obsessed with having a son, they are the least likely, imho.

[polichick]

21. I agree - they don't seem like parents who'd be bothered about that.

[fed_up_mother]

32. There's a difference between obsessing over a namesake/heir and wanting the experience

of raising a son. And I doubt they'd obsess over it, but they might want that experience. KWIM?

[polichick]

33. Sure, but if that mattered to them they probably would have done something...

...about it before now.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. I'd be happy to help if Barrack is not "up" to the task.

[nomaco-10]

10. Your comment is crude and uncouth. GET A LIFE. n/t

[onefreespiritedchick]

52. Oh please, how disrespectful. n/t

[KittyWampus]

11. Michelle stated rather plainly no more kids. I forget where, in what context and how

it was phrased.

[polichick]

34. I recall that too.

[Hekate]

58. When asked she said, "This campaign is our third child." Which imo was a polite way of saying MYOB

Michelle Obama is a high-powered career woman whose existing children are 10 and 7. She's had plenty of time to have another, and she's apparently chosen not to.

[Jennicut]

12. Oh Geez, now we will have endless tabloid pics of Michelle's supposed "baby bump"

I hate when they do that to celebrities, like maybe someone had an extra burger last night or something? I hope they leave the Obamas alone but I doubt it.

[Lady-Damai]

13. Mediatakeout.com is not the most famous black site because it's not black owned.

PANACHEREPORT.COM is the only black owned news website with actual facts.

[psychmommy]

29. i love the panache report.

mto should always be taken with a grain of salt. it is always good for a laugh. i would love to see the obama's with a new baby though. they are such a good looking family.

[Hutzpa]

14. Well, Cherrie Blair

had a baby while Tony Blair was Prime Minister, so its nothing new to the World
but could be to Americans, and if memory serves me right, Jackie Kennedy had a
baby in the White House.

GOBABY!!


:thumbsup:

[Unsane]

15. I believe Caroline and John Jr. were both born before JFK took office.

[vanderBeth]

16. Their third child, Patrick, was born during the presidency but only lived a few days.

[Unsane]

17. Absolutely. Forgot about that.

[Hutzpa]

30. Thats who I had in mind

when I mentioned that Jackie Kennedy had a baby in the White House.

[kath]

43. John-John was born between the election and Inauguration Day -

Nov. 25, 1960.

[Hekate]

47. That was Patrick, premature, lived only a few days. nt

[kath]

48. uh, no - look up JFK Jr's birthday.

Patrick was born in '62 or '63, while JFK was in the White House.

[Hekate]

49. For those not reading a newspaper at the time, Google is your friend

"Jackie Kennedy was only 31 years old when she became First Lady... She attended Vassar and the Sorbonne but received her degree from George Washington University... She and John Kennedy had two children, Caroline (b. 1957) and John Jr. (b. 1960); a third child, Patrick, was born on 7 August 1963, but died two days later. Patrick remains the most recent child to be born to a First Lady while her husband was president."

18. Given the population problem, I hope she doesn't do it

Two children is a much better example for the country than three.

[ClarkUSA]

19. If this story is true (and that's a BIG "if"), she'd have to get a donor egg because of her age.

After the age of 42 or so, a woman is functionally infertile. I kinda doubt they'll go that route. Better to adopt and set a good example.

[polichick]

22. I know someone who had a baby after 45, and both mother and son did fine...

Even 50-year-olds can have children these days using their own eggs ~ though I wouldn't risk it.

[ClarkUSA]

24. That's a very very rare (1 out of a 100) natural occurrence the Obamas can't bank on

Most fertility clinics won't do IVF after the age of 42, although I'm sure they'd bend the rules for Michelle.
But the chances are still very low for a woman of 45 (1 out of 5). Besides, Michelle has already said more
than once (the last time to Colbert) that she didn't want anymore kids.

[polichick]

25. The woman I know did it naturally, her own eggs, no medical intervention...

Lots of women can get pregnant naturally in their 40s.

If they wanted one, the Obamas could try the old fashioned way ~ but I thought too that she has said their family is complete.

[LisaL]

28. Not true at all.

Women don't become infertile after the age of 42.
Sarah Palin certainly had her offspring later than that. Of course the probability of the child having Down syndrome goes up with age of the mother.

[FrenchieCat]

37. That is not the case........expecially when we are not talking about a first child......

My MIL had by hubby when she was 47 (he was her third child), and then she had two more children after him. So 44 is actually not "old"....and it depends on the individual, but certainly it is not out of the question.

[grace0418]

38. Tell that to my friend who just gave birth to a healthy baby girl at the age of 45.

No fertility treatments of any kind.

[jberryhill]

41. LOL - My mom was 43

I'm really disappointed to find out at this point that she was infertile.

Dang.

[AspenRose]

45. You may want to check this site out

http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/

Some of these women do use donor eggs, but a good many of them don't.

I know of two personally who had their healthy daughters at 43 and 44 without assistance. My Ob/Gyn had their last at 42, as did my grandmother.

The funniest story I saw on that site was of a woman who thought she was going through menopause and it turned out she was pregnant :rofl:

The sperm's role plays a part in the fertility equation, too. If there is poor motility, the quality of sperm is not good, or if the sperm count is low, the most fertile woman in the world (regardless of age) is going to have a tough time conceiving.

[Arkansas Granny]

50. Women over the age of 40 can and do become pregnant with their own eggs.

Some women who think they are entering menopause find out they are pregnant instead. That's where the term "change of life baby" comes from.

[Hekate]

56. My former MIL gave birth to her sons well after 40; my grandma's last child same thing...

Their intelligence is fine; in fact my uncle, though born prematurely, ended up as a university professor of European history.

It happens. Sometimes it's what's most devoutly desired (like my MIL, who married late) and sometimes it's Mother Nature's little joke (like my grandma, who already had 5 kids over a 20+ year span).

Women have to be ever-vigilant until after menopause if they don't want more kids. But women who want a family shouldn't put it off forever, either, because 40 really is the trailing edge of the Bell curve of fertility.

Hekate
past all that now, thanks

[otohara]

23. There Are Too Many People On This Planet

Considering this is a rumor - I for one, hope it's not true. They are blessed with two beautiful children, that is plenty.

Flame away!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. I agree. nt

[onefreespiritedchick]

51. I also agree. n/t

[mrreowwr_kittty]

27. I hope it isn't true. Especially not for the purported reason they want another one.

Please don't tell me they are pining for the Almighty Golden Heir. :puke:

[jeffrey_X]

31. Who cares? "Considering" Why is this even news? We don't even know if it's true.

shit like this makes the internet a dumber place.

[EffieBlack]

35. I doubt that any real "friend" of the Obamas would be discussing this publicly

I suspect that the sources are wannabees who don't know squat about the Obama family's personal matters.

[fortyfeetunder]

36. She could be another Cherie Blair (Tony's wife)

Her last Leo, was born in 2000 when Cherie was 45. I saw Cherie on C-SPAN last weekend talking about the event and recalling Leo growing up at 10 Downing Street.

Bottom line, the Obamas' reproductive decisions are their business....

[struggle4progress]

39. I'm sure the Obamas are eagerly waiting for everyone in the country to weigh in:

it will be a welcome break from all the unsolicited advice they've gotten on the very personal matter of choosing a dog

[jberryhill]

40. This is profoundly nobody's business but theirs /nt

[Ozma]

42. Would you be thinking about getting a puppy if

you were also thinking of having another baby?

Just a thought. But I agree, it's totally up to them, and thinking of the media play on the puppy, just imagine if a baby boy or girl came into the White House world in the next 12 months.

[LisaL]

44. Why not?

Having a puppy doesn't preclude one from getting pregnant.
Although I think the story is just a rumor and not likely to happen.

[Clio the Leo]

46. I thought whomever won the election got custody of Piper?

It's the only reason I voted for Obama.

Shoot.

[Fearless]

53. Two words: LINCOLN BEDROOM!

I don't know if there's ever been a presidential couple I'd like to picture having sex... Oh well, until Kucinich gets elected, this'll have to do.

[greguganus]

54. I noticed Hillary has a bump too. I wonder if her and Bill....n/t

[tishaLA]

55. MTO is a hot mess

They also had a blind item last week about an R&B star was going to come out of the closet on Rosie's Live show. The only R&B star on the show? Ne-Yo, about whom they have posted gay-baiting after gay-baiting rumor. The only thing that site is good for is to get snark about how people dress, to see people clutch their pearls about interracial dating, and to see pics of Chris Brown and/or Rihanna. Every. Fucking. Day.
