Is Michelle Obama pregnant?
If the gossip blogs and websites are to be believed, then the White House could be welcoming a new arrival in July this year, despite Michelle telling chat show host Ellen DeGeneres in 2008: 'I think I'm done. I think our third child is this [the Presedantial] campaign.'
So has Michelle changed her mind? If the web is to be believed, then the Obama's are most definitely about to announce new baby news - or not...
The Weekly World News website claims Michelle, 46, is two months into her pregnancy, and quotes a White House 'source' as saying 'Michelle Obama is pregnant'. The White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, has done nothing to thwart the rumours, by reportedly refusing to confirm or deny the story.
Meanwhile, over on the Celeb Gather blog, the rumour is being completely quashed, claiming more reliable sources than the Weekly World News would be breaking the news if it were true.

Whatever the truth in the rumours, the President and his wife are keeping mum for now, with no official comment either way...

Do you think it would be a good thing for the Obamas to have another child?
