"I think I'm done," she told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview. "I think our third child is this campaign."

1. "Our third child is this campaign."

That's funny!!! :rofl:

Damn, I love me some Michelle. :-)

[Blasphemer]

12. I loved that line too

Interesting that the question was even asked - I never imagined they would have more kids, at least not biological ones. Considering her age, the stresses of the campaign and the duties involved with being first lady, it's a sensible decision.

18. Yeah, -- though Sarah Palin, same age as Michelle, had a baby....

and she is running for Vice President!

I wondered if someone approached her for that reason.

2. GOP Will Pounce On Her

they'll come up with all sorts of reasons to make this decision a bad thing.

[Lucinda]

4. Insanely stupid if the do. It's the Obamas business.

[LeftyMom]

5. Why do the Obamas hate children??!?!?!1?

etc

[tritsofme]

11. No they won't.

This story is just a bit of fluff.

3. And that is how responsible married couples think.

She can look forward to having grandchildren part time when Obama finishes his terms, instead of raising more kids of her own full time.

6. The GOP will say she's anti-family.

7. With TWO KIDS? No, she's just not into BREEDING ...

She already HAS a family ...

[lligrd]

8. Responsible, Environmental Friendly Decision nt

14. You realize I was joking right?

[LSparkle]

17. Yes, but I also know that there are some who would actually believe that

Ridiculous though it may seem. Anyone who would
attack her for being "anti-family" would need to
be reminded that "she already HAS a family."
Having additional children when you don't have
the time or the money to support them has been
the CONSERVATIVE argument against welfare, and
I'd hope that would shut any critics up.

9. On the flip side, could you imagine what the GOP would say...

if the Obamas had 5 kids?

It's a no-win situation....

[lligrd]

10. She Should Offer To Adopt Bristol's

so that the kids aren't forced to get married and can continue their education.

13. or to break the cycle of unwed motherhood

[gblady]

15. classy answer as usual from Michelle....

I'm wondering, tho....
would they have asked this question of Barack?

16. And, we the American people thank the Obamas on how

well they've nurtured their "3rd child" from it's inception in the Iowa Cornfields to winning the primary and taking our Democratic Convention to new heights with a lot of help from their massive numbers of friends. Their "baby" is 1st class intelligence all the way:bounce: :patriot: :party: :kick:
