Lefty Politics Posted by Moira Whelan

I happened to notice after tonight’s debate that Obama is a south-paw. The dexterity issue struck me as one of the few areas of politics we have not yet explored deeply by the punditry. So given that it’s a smaller list (and because I am a lefty myself and was curious) I went digging for other famous lefties. Remember only 7 to 10% of the population are south-paws…

US Presidents:
James A. Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan,  George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton 

Other famous US politicos: Bill Bradley, Anthony Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Ollie North, Ross Perot, William Perry

Honorable Mention: Fidel Castro, Bart Simpson

My prediction is that extensive debate of this issue, how Obama compares to these individuals and what this all means for the other candidates, will be as significant a contribution to the political dialogue as other discussion of minutia.

On a political note, Obama, in my opinion missed a huge opportunity in tonight's debate by not saying that his biggest weakness was that when he writes, he gets ink all over his hand.

As I am a southpaw myself I look at that list and contemplate amputating said hand. Ugh.

Great article.I was wondering this only.Thanks for sharing it here.I would like to say audiences may find waiting for Lefty's style and dogmatic politics strange and unfamiliar; it is rarely produced and is often characterized as an historical curiosity.

The sides are beautifully sculpted and the lugs extend from the bottom of the case in a way that compliments almost any strap, or the bracelet. The design is very fluid, and it sits perfectly on my wrist. Replica Kenneth Cole Watches is solid, smooth, and has a very vintage feel to it. The crown is a lovely size and features the Benarus three dolphin logo on its edge. The bezel is a Replica Jacques Lemans F1 120 click dive timer that fits the case perfectly with no play, wiggle or flex. Replica Immersion Watches of any case is in its details which is where the Moray excels. Its retro design seamlessly integrates with the solid end links of the bracelet. The dial is quite unique as well; Replica Jacques Lemans Watches is a very dark grey/black with a slightly tactile metallic tone -- not glossy or smooth. It's very hard to describe, and I have attempted to capture it in the photos. The markers and numbers on the dial are not inlaid but appear to be made of painted on C3 luminous paint. The lume is first rate; it charges quickly and lasted well into the night or through a movie. The hour and second hand have metallic edges while the minute hand has orange edges that cause it to stand out. This is my only issue with the Moray: I'm not a big fan of the continuity of the orange hand. It's not bad, but Replica Orient Watches really stands out. (The Ocean7 LM-2 has a similar orange minute hand, but it matches the orange accents on the reflector, second hand, and logo.)The dial is almost sterile, only indicating the brand, the automatic movement, and the water resistance. The date window is small and unobtrusive with white text on a black wheel located between the 4 and 5 markers. The dial design is very similar to that found on Panerai Replica Hamilton Watches, but the hands, date Replica Leonard Watches, and paint application has little in common with Panerai.
