Boom

The inauguration is set to follow the same trend as election night, creating an atmosphere of hope, euphoria, and love. The reports the Daily Mail hypothesizes this mood could lead to Obama baby boom:

Consider that the mood sweeping America is a potent combination of hope and optimism for the future and you have an almost certain increase in pregnancies.


Combine this with the fact that U.S. voters under the age of 30 - the prime child-bearing age - voted for Mr Obama by a margin of two to one and you have the makings of a once in a generation social phenomenon.

They go on to point out something Huffington Post noticed back in November: Barack Obama was born August 6th, 1961...almost exactly nine months after John F. Kennedy was elected on November 8th, 1960.

I'm hoping we will have a boom in two-parent households. The Obamas are great role models for what to look for in a spouse and how to demonstrate love, affection and respect to them.

Barack Obama, er, excuse me, President Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961.
(Which just happens to be my birthday too! Woo hoo!!)

I hope not! The world is already over-populated. It would be lovely to see a post inauguration adoption boom though.

I have to agree with you there.

Thank you. I was also going to post that. You think in this day in age of fighting climate change and dwindling resources for energy, people would stop pushing for booms in the human population.

Well combine all those factors with recession! I think people will think twice about having a baby during times like these.

Baby booms are a bad idea. We didn't learn anything from the last one?

I thought so, too. I hope so. Obama deserves to have a son if anyone does. What a man. What a great man.

If the economy turns around, the environment begins to heal,people start seeing each other as Americans and not categories,and you actualy know your neighbors,perhaps it would be a world fit
enough to raise children.
Hate to rain on the parade,but we baby boomers are STILL taking up a lot of space on the planet.
Right now, we're not in an optimum place to support an Obama boom :-).

And we have been having a baby boom. Let's work on our culture to value adults consciously nurturing these children and offer them great educations in schools and in homes.
