Think back to November 4, 2008. Recall the exultant joy of the moment. Dancing, singing, weeping masses of humanity crammed into every public space. Cars honking the beat to the chants of marching celebrants. Retiring for the evening, emotionally exhausted but so happy.

A media narrative was born that night, since forgotten -- and ultimately, left unfulfilled.

Yes, that's right. As MSNBC.com informs us in their leading story in the Health section, the Obama baby boom turns out to be a bust.

"It's romantic idea," says Dr. S. Philip Morgan, a professor of sociology and demography at Duke University, "but don't bet on it."
...
In reality, "one night doesn't have much of an effect," says Morgan.

Harsh words, Dr. Morgan. How can we trust Obama to fix the economy or provide basic health care if he can't even get our women pregnant?
