I've been here a long time and I am going to say this!!!

[Rick Myers]

I just noticed Barack Obama is a leftie. Left-handed. I'm left-handed, and the left is always right!

MSNBC has been showing footage of BO signing a placemat with an NCAA bracket on it, and he holds his hand like I do, to keep from smearing the ink!

It's really a pain to be a leftie!

Now, back to our wall-to-wall coverage of the Obama passport-Gate... }(

1. Bill Clinton was a leftie as well.

My older brother was too and he always had sit in a certain seat at the table.

12. my angel mom was a leftie and she said they were the only ones

in their right mind.

As a teacher, he writes badly. No one showed him how to turn the paper so he didn't have to write upside down. Poor guy. He has gotten ink on his hand his whole life. If you are a lefty, turn the paper so that the left lower corner is pointed at your belly button. :)

2. I noticed that tonight too

I did not know he was a southpaw either until I saw that footage.

3. Yet another DU lefty checking in...

Great catch, by the way. I have to watch my hand sometimes when I'm filling out forms with ink that can smudge. We never have it as easy as you righties out there...

[rzemanfl]

4. My mother was left-handed and I still do some things they way

she taught me to. Barack Obama and I have the same birthday. Passportgate????? That's what I get for going for groceries.

[monmouth]

5. My left-handed son at age 6 told me lefties were the smartest and cutest..

I think his teacher was doing some reinforcement at the time, we all howled and still remind him of it... He writes that way too.

[Auntie Bush]

7. I noticed he wrote with his left hand but he talks with his right hand.

:shrug:

[Vadem]

8. So is my son, my sister and my granddaughter!... Long live lefties!

[Window]

9. Yep. Love me some lefties.

[tabasco]

11. More reason to love him!

Lefties rule!

[GeoK]

13. Woo Hoo! People do notice!

Being a lefty myself, this was the first observation I discovered about Barack.

:hi: (Notice how the "hi" smiley is a lefty too?!!)

GOBAMA!

[Solomon]

14. Lefty here.

[Jersey Devil]

17. Yes! The lefty defense to the fountain pen

When I was a kid we had to learn to write with a fountain pen, and unless you are also a lefty there is no way you can understand just how impossible it is for a left handed person to write with a fountain pen without totally smearing the ink as you write unless you develop a style of writing in which you hold the pen and write with your hand almost upside down.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Yes

I too am a leftie, and I sure noticed it.

[better tomorrow]

21. Left handed, right brained...right brained, creative
