This has very little to do with astrology, but it’s my blog, so….As a leftie myself, I always notice these things. Very little has been made that both Obama and McCain are left-handed. Yet, this is not the first leftie vs leftie general election. Both Bush, pere, and Clinton I, were left-handers (With Clinton a Leo like a Obama, and Bush a Virgo rising like McCain’s sun sign).

Most left-handers were forced to switch to being right-handed, even up to the middle of the 20th century, so there isn’t really that much data on left-handed presidents before the mid-20th century. But, what is really amazing, is that since then, Truman, Ford, Bush, Clinton, and Obama/McCain were all lefties. Also Reagan said he was born left-handed but forced to switch in school. That means out of the last 10 presidents (including McCain/Obama) 6 out of 10 were left-handed, far above the percentage of the population possessing the trait.
