Chicagoan Obama Elected. Chicago Real Estate Values Rise?

I'm posting this slightly off topic for the greater good of the Chicago metropolitan area.
Barack Obama, resident of Chicago, has been elected President of the United States.
Surely there is a history of people wanting to move to (and visit) the city where their president is from. If so, this will be a good thing for home owners (and the tourism industry) in Chicago. More people will want to move here, thus increasing the value of real estate in our City and surrounding suburbs, and stimulating the economy.

True, Chicago already has plenty of great reasons to live here, but for those of you still mulling over the decision to relocate to our great city, let me give you a few reasons to do so.
We have cool buildings like the Sears Tower and the John Hancock Building (get a drink at the 95th floor), a bountiful number of competitive sports franchises, plenty of places to see live music and great restaurants (we have more than just italian beef, hot dogs and tasty tasty deep dish pizza - is it lunch time yet?)! We have that shiny silver Bean thing at Millenium Park, fireworks in the summer at Navy Pier, and did I mention we might get the Olympics in 2016? You definitely want to be here for that! For you ladies reading this blog, we have Water Tower Place, the shops on Michigan Avenue and Oprah... and some time in the next 100 years or so, the Cubs will win a world series. Won't you want the chance to say "I lived in Chicago when the Cubs finally broke the curse" ? Come live in the place where Twinkies and Lemonheads were invented!

Hopefully this world famous blog will be picked up by news outlets everywhere and help support Chicago home owners everywhere in this troubling economy.

Move to Chicago! Boost Our Home Values. Help Support the Economy.
Thank you. USA! USA! USA!
