Michelle Obama pregnant? No -- not even while snowboarding

Michelle Obama pregnant with child No. 3? Not exactly. A holiday season pregnant with fake news and death hoaxes? More than a little bit.

Word that the first lady is pregnant came Sunday most prominently via the Weekly World News, which "quoted" White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs as confirming -- out of Oahu, where the Obamas are vacationing -- that the pregnancy is two months along. We can only imagine the "while snowboarding" angle so popular in this season's wave of celebrity death hoaxes was too impractical to include, given the family's much publicized current tropical location.

Though WWN wasn't the only site pushing the story -- which may have grown out of a psychic prediction that ran Tuesday in the Toronto Sun -- it was the only site we could find that shared this TMI tidbit:

"There was a great deal of mystery about the whereabouts of the President and First Lady on Election Night this year," the WWN wrote. "There were many rumors about where they might be --  but now we know.  The happy couple was spending quality time together, making a new baby."

Eeeeeeeuuuuw.

Oddly, the president made no mention of the "pregnancy" in his weekly address. Shock. And that with the "baby" speculated to be due on his birthday!

Now, the Ministry used to buy WWN from time to time back in college -- for reasons similar to why we bought Mad magazine. Hey, maybe that's just us.

But that story going around about Barack Obama going cigarette-free for nine months? That one's true, according to Gibbs -- or at least it was a week ago.

He wants a baby, and she does not.
It would boost his rating tremendously but she would have to do all the work.
So maybe she is just doing this for show. We'll find out sooner or later.
As much as a baby would look cute in their arms, I sure would not want to be that child, and grow up in a glass house with the public watching my every move for the rest of my life.

Oprah should buy the Obamas a Cabbage Patch Kid.

I think it would be excellent if President Obama and First Lady Michelle "O"bama were going to have a baby while they were in the White House. There would be a lot of firsts. First African-American baby born in the White House. If it is a boy, it would be the first boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Obama. The boy would also be the first (African-American) First Son of the nation. The first African-American son of a first son. The first African-American son of the first black Harvard University law graduate that became President of the United States. And if he also attended and graduated from Harvard and then became President of the United States...well ....you get the point about "firsts." By the way, which American First Lady was pregnant and gave birth to a child while her husband was an incumbent president? Jackie O. Kennedy: Son Patrick: Born August 7, 1963.

How would YOU or anybody else know whether he wants another child? Neither of them has made any comments about wanting another child. Leave them alone to their privacy, what little they have.

I am not at all a fan of either of the Obamas, but I do think they don't deserve this kind of gossip and intrusion into their personal lives. Nobody does.
