The theory is almost too perfect to be true. Barack Obama, the son of politically progressive parents, was born Aug. 4, 1961—almost nine months to the day after John F. Kennedy was elected to the White House. Is it possible Obama was conceived on that historic night?

And if so, could history repeat itself? In the hours and days since Obama's victory, many of his exhilarated supporters have been, shall we say, in the mood for love. And though it's too soon to know for sure, experts aren't ruling out the possibility of an Obama baby boom—the kind of blip in the national birth rate that often follows a seismic event, whether it's scary (a terrorist attack) or celebratory (the end of World War II). "The mood of the country and the optimism about leadership is always somewhat related to birth rates," says Dr. Manny Alvarez, chief of reproductive science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. "I'm gearing up for a healthy increase."

Hope and euphoria, says University of Washington sociologist Pepper Schwartz, are a serious aphrodisiac. And voters under 30 went for Obama by a margin of 2 to 1. When you combine those two elements—randy people of child-bearing age—the likely result is what the online Urban Dictionary has already dubbed "Obama Babies" : children "conceived after Obama was proclaimed President, by way of celebratory sex." "If the amount of alcohol, happy people and major functions on election night is any indication, I suspect we'll indeed see a boom," says 25-year-old Brandon Mendelson, a graduate student in Albany, N.Y., who says he changed his vote at the last minute because "I wanted to be able to tell our future children that we voted for Obama."

Would people really want to have sex to celebrate JFK's assassination???

[Binky]

It didn't say they celebrated Kennedy's assination. I don't think that's what it meant. But I do think, given the opportunity, people would have sex for any reason.

I think that was his 'election', not assassination.

You need an excuse to have sex?

[Abbey Marie]

Perhaps the boom will be from all those confused Asians celebrating his "erection"

Kind of playing off Avatar's comment:

Who needs a reason?

Oh boy, millions of new welfare cases.

[Des]

Like I always say, the abuse of welfare doesn't negate its value.

I also think people who support the government handing out bailouts and corporate welfare but don't support welfare for private citizens are hypocrites.

First off, I support Welfare to a degree as I believe that it should be a hand up rather than a life long hand out.

Second, the biggest problem we have with Welfare is not so much abuse as it is that the Government takes in but the government doesn't give it out. So much of our tax dollars that could go to serving those in need goes into the pockets of those who don't need.

Welcome to the board Des.
