Obama economic stimulus already working; LA octuplets born

Just six days into the new Democratic Obama administration and the economic stimulus package is already producing results.

Word today out of Bellflower that eight new American consumers have been born to one mother. She's described as very excited.

Not only that, but 46 individual medical workers were fully employed for hours during the planned and orchestrated Caesarean section today at Kaiser Permanente hospital there. Moreover, the newborns will likely spend at least two months in the hospital.

The babies weighed between 1 pound 15 ounces to 3 pounds 4 ounces, according to our colleague Sam Quinones. Six boys, two girls. "Truly amazing," the doctors called it. (See video below.)

So do we. Eight kids in five minutes. Talk about boosting productivity!

Doctors said they had prepared to deliver seven new Pamper- and Enfamil-users.

But were shocked when they pulled out eight. Obviously, the result of a stirring inaugural speech last week.

Fertility drugs frequently result in multiple births. But 80% of them don't. And most of the rest are twins. More change you better believe in.

I just saw it in the news about it and am wondering if sh used fertility drugs. A lady in Britain quite a while ago had purposefully used drugs to induce multiple births and they all died hoping to get a million bucks and free gifts.

A couple years ago another lady in the US demanded a new house a free car, food, and diapers, etc... when she had multiple births, and when few such offered, she called it race "discrimination" during an interview. Until the governor in that state gave her a free, donated, house and a new car and placed her on welfare...

Anyhow, I wonder if this lady overdosed on fertility drug she bought from the Internet or self medicated herself w/ the drugs using her "research" on google. As the economy gets worse, we'll see a couple more of these kind of freak shows.

It's plain freaky, and she refuses to acknowledge or deny fertility drug use and no doctor in their right mind would prescribe such massive doses as there are already research on proper level and only for women who cannot naturally get pregnant. Having 8 frankin-babies w/ various levels of retardation is really scary.

How does this pertain to Obama? And how would his "stirring inaugural speech" cause the birth of eight children? Perhaps someone needs to take sex ed. again...

I am thoroughly confused about this article. If someone would please explain...
