    "TimKC"- you had to bring abortion into the mix didn't you? Pathetic. You and your false-prophet hypocritical wanna-be christains LOST. GET OVER IT.

    Then I guess we will see a "blip" or, in other words, a significant increase in the number of abortions, as a result of Obama supporters having celebratory sex.

    Don't fret, I do think Americans in general, especially young Americans, have grown more enlightened about ethnicity and race and are less prejudice, racist. But there will always be those apples, young and old, who for some reason still live in the dark ages and don't really want to move forward. With all the media outlets, I think there is enough room for "human interest" stories. And, you know, I think you can tell a few things about a person by their bowel movements. You are what you eat. Healthy bowels indicate a healthy mind and body.

    I'm glad we have Obama as president, I believe he's a much finer candidate than McCain. But all this foolishness by the media and the left as if all the problems we face were due to having Bush or a Republican in office is nonsense. Let's face the facts here, the house was controlled by the left and their approval rating was half of that of the president. Obama has some stiff problems to face, and before we start counting the stars we have a lot of work to do. All this optimism is fine but reality is around the corner. We may see the downfall of Chrysler/Dodge and GM and this is just the begining of a truly uncertain future. Let's temper this optimism with some reality. And all the hate on this board is aimed at the media and the left pretending all the problems will vanish because we elected "the first multi racial candidate" It is impressive and speaks volumes of the American people. But our problems are not going to magically disapear because of it.

      I agree 100%! - There are far greater challenges to face ahead, esp., by those in their 20s and 30s, than contributing to "baby booming" by Obama's election. More over 'today's times' are quite different from those of 1960's in birth control, etc. facilities availablr; and it is equally foolish to interpret that a few days of elation, for whatever reason may be that will result in baby booming. The press is constantly reminding us only one thing - They have No other worthy journalism work to do than gossiping!!!

    To Hangemhigh - it's "its staff," not "it's," -as long as we're ranting about "journalistic ineptitude."

    Hey NEWSWEEK do you think you become even more obscene and callous?Perhaps in your next journalistic disaster you could reference the bowel movements of your editors,reporters et cetera.The BOWEL EVACUATIONS of your bloody staff would have as much merit as this disgusting drivel about stupid people copulating because OBAMA won the election.Is there no DECORUM left in our society and are there no standards of common decency left in this hell bent world?

    The hatred, ignorance and, yes, racism, expressed in many of these posts has made me question my idea,, since Sen. Obama was elected, that Americans have become more enlightened and open-minded in the last couple of decades. What was meant as a somewhat fun social commentary has gleaned almost nothing but rants about abortion, welfare and class warfare. Shore up your own self-esteem and quit tearing down others.

    i'm continually astonished by how DEEPLY invested newsweek was/is in the Obama campaign and now his future presidency.
    did journalism just decide they would forgo integrity in order to be a part of the "historical nature" of Obama's presidency?
    can anyone read articles like this and not come away feeling soiled?

  • Posted By: MrArbitrage @ 11/14/2008 10:24:23 PM

    Excuse me people but if anything - the Obama victotory will spark an "abortion boom". That is what he and his party of reprobates are all about. Go out and spread your seed all over the place because there's no consequence. It's an easy fix people. He will make it so you can carry that baby full term if you have to - than just "partial birth" it. This terrorist actually said he wouldn't want to "punish" his own "daughter with a baby".

      I love how racists hide behind the abortion issue to disguise the fact that the real reason they hate Obama is not because he's pro-choice, but because he's not 100% white.

      • Posted By: Arwen2K3 @ 11/15/2008 9:10:02 AM

        Wow. That is incredibly ignorant and you sound very defensive. Do you know how many millions of babies are killed every year in this country? Of course people are passionate about that. I find it absurd that you could not see people truly disgusted over the holocaust of babies and instead say that they are just racist. I am white. I am pro-life. I did not vote for Obama because he believes in the murdering of a child so that other people can live how they want to. I can understand and see very well how Obama eing the president can have wonderful effects for black people. Specifically the young black men of our country who so desperately need a a model to show them that it is possible to be successful and that being a smart black man is not going against your culture-it should be part of your culture. BUT that does not trump the holocaust against millions of helpless innocent . If we cannot respect life in the very beginning (conception) then we will not ever be able to respect life at any other time. Racism is disrespecting a life-but racism will not cease when we believe in killing life when it is convenient for us because it just breeds more and more disrespect for human life. Being pro-life is not racist. Actually, being pro-choice is. Where do you find the most abortion clinics? In minority neighborhoods. Our country would rather kill those sweet minority babies than help our minority populations learn to get up on their feet and care for the babies. The founder of planned parenthood had ties to the KKK and believed in ethnic cleansing. Look it up. Educate yourselves. More babies have died than have soldiers in the Iraq war. Upset about the war? Look at the one we have on our own soil. But I digress...

    are you kidding me! I feel i have lost a few IQ points after reading this garbage.. Obama hasnt even taken office and the media acts like he is Jesus in carnate. People this man in a POLITICIAN, so the only thing you can trust is that he will FAIL to deliver on at least half of his promises. He has no proven track record, a first term senator that is speech savy and promised us the world. This man could be the biggest snake oil salesman of all time. So quit the hype before he has even taken office... he has no where to go but down since everyone has put him on a pedestal.

    I just recently gave notice at my job. We are a small company. My monthly contribution towards my health insurance (if you can call it that-UniCare- I call it Useless Care) is $469 a month, and my employers give an additional 200. $669 a month for crappy insurance? Are you kidding me? I'm really scared.....wish I could get Medicare....but don't get me started again!!

  • Posted By: zemo @ 11/15/2008 3:34:12 AM

    Oh, yeah! As soon as I found out that Obama won I cried to my wife "Honey, Obama won, lets get in the sack and have a baby!!" Lordy, Lordy, Lord!!! The way the earth shook that night, I knew we weren't the only ones with the "urge". There will be babies of all colors, black, white, brown, yellow, red, indigo, and maybe some green too, who knows, I am just so excited I have not been able to stop.

  • Posted By: MGuerndt @ 11/15/2008 3:05:47 AM

    I appreciate the intent of the article, I guess. But the vast majority of "baby booms" in the past never actually happened. For instance, people talk about the baby boom after the New York City blackout. When researchers checked that month's birthrate against the same month every year, they realized there was no boom. Try googling "urban myths." It's right up there with "Coke + pop rocks = exploding stomach!"

    So

    alamo6........when you dont have a job after 25 yrs of working and no insurance....then you can reply

    The immorality that has grown in our society has gone hand in hand with the legalization of abortion...leaps and bounds since abortion has become birth control. Are you absolutely insane to think that this President who supports not only abortion, but killing a live baby after a botched abortion, will have the effect of encouraging people to multiply? Do you think that using the cells of aborted embryos to keep our own selfish lives on this earth is morality? Like I said...the boom has been going on all along...increasing since Roe vs. Wade...we have turned our heads to that increase because we would rather be selfish...we want what we want when we want it, and will do whatever we need to, to get it. SELFISH SOCIETY

    • Posted By: last4one @ 11/14/2008 7:39:56 PM

      bagladymo,
      The next time you start bashing abortion, I suggest you do some more research about countries that have prohibited. I think you'll find some interesting information regarding increased amounts of abandoned babies and lack of proper parenting and child development. If you wanna banish abortion, tell me how you plan on making sure all these abandoned/unwanted children live healthy successful lives while still maintaining capitalism in the US.

      • Posted By: bagladymo @ 11/15/2008 2:57:52 AM

        Sorry...but that would be a responsibility of all of society...these are human beings just as the ones already born. There are countless numbers of people everywhere in the world who do their best to help the homeless, the orphans, etc. There are people crying over not having a child. Your reasons to kill a baby are no excuse for abortion. A society once decided that everyone must be 'healthy specimens'...... it was started by Hitler...I'm sure you remember how that ended up. Only 'healthy, successful lives' is not the answer. That means we lose our whole sense of who should live and who should die...including the elderly. Heck...are you perfectly healthy? Have you ever had to worry about your next meal? We aren't all going to be in exactly the same place in life, nor will we all be in the same state of health. Hitler wanted a society of only strong, healthy people that he chose should live or die...what you said in your post is a Hitler-ish statement.

    What a stupid article. Only idiots and the inexperienced would come up with something like this.

  • Posted By: spodgorn @ 11/15/2008 2:50:43 AM
