The latest dish is that Michelle Obama is pregnant. Though all reports clearly mark it as an unsubstantiated rumour, fracas, not an Obama fan, has decided to bravely face facts.
Obama’s stimulus package was big enough after all!
Now, recently, I… fracas, did leave a comment (over at TMZ) in defense of Michelle Obama.
I had to.
People were trashing her inauguration outfits and calling her fat.
FAT. Honestly!
This kind of thing rather upsets me. While not one of my favorite people, Michelle Obama is nonetheless… not fat. She is just fine.
So, I am not going to participate in this whole find-a-picture-to-humiliate-Michelle-by-pointing-out-a-fictitious-baby-bump plot. If she is pregnant, (and rumours place it at a two month pregnancy) then dang it already but two months isn’t enough to even have a baby bump unless she, as the expectant mom, was only about 43 1/2 pounds to begin with.
They’re just being mean.
So instead, I thought I’d show you a series of photos of daddy Barack, (aka the party to which the credit for the least boring stimulus ‘package’ story we’ve heard so far, can be given) as he heard the baby bump news.

Now it’s not that I’m trying to imply Obama would be less than happy about a pregnancy. Perhaps he was just thinking ahead to when he might be so busy being the POTUS, that Michelle might go into labor while he’s unavailable, thus necessitating VP Biden to the call of duty as his second in command?
I happened to find a shot of Biden’s reaction to that very idea.
An anonymous source clarified that in the photo to your left, Biden was receiving word that he would in fact, be required to assist during labour, but would have to remain seated at the first lady’s head at all times, so as not to see the first goods. Poor, poor Joe Biden.
But… knowing Biden’s the real maverick of the 2008 election campaign, we all know he won’t listen to daddy Barack.
So does Joe.
No one’s had the courage to brief the First Lady yet.
This is all bound to be very exciting and newsworthy. Fracas hopes the rumours are true.
My ’source’ tells me so does Biden!
[Disclaimer: As of January 28, 2009, Michelle's pregnancy is still just a rumour. Fracas is just having fun with the obvious. Please don't get your poop all tied up in a knot. I'm sure Obama won't mind my joking about how big his package is. Seriously. He's a guy. He'll get it. Or she will... whatever.]




Yowza!
The Good Colonel & I were wracking (or is it racking) our brains trying to come up with other first ladies who’d been pregnant during their stay at the White House. We came up with Jackie Kennedy (the baby died) and the wife of Grover Cleveland (name not known to either of us).
Any others?
Well there was that rumour about Barbara Bush… but that can’t be true, can it?
See… now it would have been funny to see those looks on Michelle’s face. You know, viewing the stimulus package and all. lol.
There. I commented. Stop sticking me with that pin.
lol linda. I’m not sure I want to get any more involved with that whole scenario than I already am!
And I would never stick you with any pins, silly. You’re a fraccy sis and a coven mate. We ’stick’ together, not each other.
lol linda. I’m not sure I want to get any more involved with that whole scenario than I already am!
YOU started it. LOL
Well, yes… but even I have my limits, and I don’t want to think about what his stimulus package looks like. I’m content to leave that to her (or Biden… hee hee)
