Have you ever wondered why ( Must be said/read with an Andy Rooney impersonation)
The last two Democrat presidents have been left handed? I have. Now, I don't know what this has to do with the price of of tea in China, but, I wonder why they are both l*****ts and left handed? Kind of strange, isn't it? I mean, the Republican presidents have been right handed......Does that mean that Donkey's are left handed? I don't know....What I do know is that I like my steaks medium rare, and my wife likes chicken.......Rice pilaf is a good side dish.....

You have to do an Andy Rooney to get the humor.

It is interesting to note that both Clinton, Bill, and Obama were left handers....

I'll leave up to the forum to comment.

I had noticed that also. It is interesting. Times change. When I was born you were not, at least in my grammar school, allowed to be left handed. I was born left eye dominant and left handed. In school I was forced to learn to write right handed. I shoot left handed but in the 50s the standard military rifle was the U.S. Rifle Caliber 30 M1, the Garand. So as a Marine, I had to learn to shoot right handed. Maybe if I were a Liberal I could find some way to blame all my failings on my Grammar School. And yes, I do have failings. That's my human side.

I had noticed that Obama was left handed, watching him sign something on TV a couple of years ago. Never noticed that Bill Clinton was. I think that I was left-handed by nature. I still shoot a bow left-handed, but when my Dad sent me that Mauser that he picked up in the Bulge, I found that it ejected hot cases into my face if I shot it left handed and I taught myself to shoot it the proper way and now I am completely right handed (except for bows and arrows) So left-handed folks can be changed.

it is advantageous to be ambidextrous
when firing a rifle
or throwing(pitching) a base ball
or writing in school
no need to change anything

Nothing about being able to work with both hands is wrong. I throw right handed and left handed. But, my mechanics are right handed. However, I always batted left handed in Baseball and Hockey.....Golf as well....

I always try to work with both sides. To replicate the same motions...It's not easy. I find it hard to feel comfortable throwing left handed, although I can. Conversely, I am a much better hitter in baseball as a lefty, as well ice hockey.

Ehh....use wh**ever works best!
