Michelle Obama Pregnant? Why The Nation Needs Her Bundle of Joy

If the pregnancy rumors that are swirling about Michelle Obama are true, then the new presidential couple have truly hit the recession with a trifecta punch.

Just think about the gift this baby will give to many hurting industries. First off, the media would be blessed. Celebrity newsweekly covers would have weeks of the question mark story: Is She or Isn't She Pregnant?, then there would be months to follow the growth of The Obama Bump. I'm already guessing if that's why Michelle looked a little thick in her chartreuse Isabel Toledo inaugural day outfit. Before, the rumors, I chalked it up to a possible bullet-proof vest, layered under her dress. Now, however, I'm wondering if that's also why the new First Lady chose such a big-skirted ball gown. In re-examining photos of the night, I've been eyeballing her dress from different angles to see if I perceive any telltale bulge.
