Michelle Obama Laughs Off Pregnancy Rumors

Michelle Obama is not pregnant!

For a couple of months after the election and through the inauguration, she was the subject of a lot of pregnancy speculation and First Baby hopes, which she has finally gone on the record about to Oprah.

In the lengthy interview inside April's O Magazine, Oprah asks the First Lady point blank about the state of her supposed baby bump. Several pages into the Q&A and on the heels of a discussion about workouts, Oprah began the following exchange:

O: Well, you look better than ever - despite the rumors that you've got a baby bump.

MO:[Laughter] I know - I was like, "Baby bump? As hard as I work on my abs?!"

O: By the way, nobody would be happier if you were pregnant than Gayle King. Out of nowhere, she'll tell me, "Oh God. I really hope Michelle gets pregnant - and that it's a boy!"

MO: [More laughter] Here's the scoop. Not pregnant. And not planning on it.

O: Not pregnant.

MO: Not pregnant.

Oprah, once again asking the questions only she can get answers to.

God Bles Our First Family !!!!

This has been in the back of my mind since the inauguration and it would be the right time for the first couple to have a baby.

[fanifesu]

I would like for them to have a son, he has three beautiful daughters. So a son would be pretty cool.

[Lionsden]

Three?

"..."

Huh??????????????

BREAKING NEWS! Unlike hideously cadaverous, concave-bellied, coked-out "super" models, normal women have actual stomachs, and I, for one, am very hopeful that, as admired as she is, Michelle Obama will set a new, healthy body-image standard for young girls and women to emulate.

[IntellectuallyHonest]

I think Michelle is a great First Lady.

[SharonB]

EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!! The President is not supposed to do ANYTHING that is not related to repairing the economy! The GOP has spoken.

Think, people! If he is getting busy with his wife, what will happen to my mortgage????????

Oh, the humanity.

[Lionsden]

Republicans don't mind if Obama enjoys himself. Their point is that democrats would NOT let a republican get away with it. If George Bush did the amusements Obama is doing, we'd never hear the end of it by the commie-left mainstream media.

Ummm... errrrr... uhhhh...

Well, sir, I do not think that even W would be criticized for having a physical relationship with Laura. But, if you say that he is not, I will take your word for it. But, it doesn't help his image.

Seriously.

When she first walked out in that dress, bam , it is the dress and the colors that made her look pregnant...I wondered if she really looked in the mirror before walking out in that thing..Since then she has hit nothing but home runs ...A very classic lady.

i think it's be really cool if she got pregnant again. it could probably help lift the mood of the whole country a little.

[qubit]

Yea, like help lift us all up to the toilet.

[SharonB]

WTF?

[StringOfLights]

Why does every famous pre-menopausal woman have to deny she's pregnant over and over and over...?

[ibsteve2u]

I read a story like this, and I realize that I simply do not have the class to fill a position such as either of the Obamas hold.

Because about the second time I read such a story such as this, I would be attempting to force a little flatulence around the press corps, and then privately take wagers from my family concerning which newshound would correctly guess what I had for breakfast.

If BSTOTUS (Big Screen) can laugh things off, FLOTUS can also.

[EminemsRevenge]

The other day i thought---Wouldn't it be cool if Michelle got knocked up?---it would sure dampen the racist diatribes against her!

[LovelyGirl]

It's just wishful thinking on the part of those who love her. But at 45 years old, I am sure she's not planning on it.

[movecenter]

It depends on what Michelle wears. There have been several times lately that I thought she looked particularly thin. Looks like she's working out to me. As if being First Lady is enough pressure, the scrutiny on her appearance must be tough. You go Michelle....keep making us proud!!

I've been gaining and losing the same 25 pounds for five years and my waist size remains unchanged (big). I WISH my baby bump looked like that!
