Re: Too many lefties here? (4.00 / 5)

Left-handed preznits:

* 20th James A. Garfield
* 31st Herbert Hoover
* 33rd Harry S. Truman
* 38th Gerald Ford
* 40th Ronald Reagan
* 41st George H.W. Bush
* 42nd William J. Clinton
* 44th Barack Obama

Think we've figured out where things went wrong.

Additionally, it might be difficult to determine the handedness of the earlier presidents, as it wasn't uncommon to force left-handed children to use their right hand when writing.

Re: Too many lefties here? (none / 1)

I was born left-dominant but was switched in infancy. Many of the things I do right-handed, I do backward.
