Ball point pen on the morning newsprint
The issues and problems are omnipresent for our new president, but I for one am comforted by Obama’s command of the facts and eagerness to engage. It’s a stark contrast from our previous chief executive.
A side note: Five of the last seven US Presidents have been left handed: Ford, Bush the elder, Reagan, Clinton and Obama, what’s more, no matter who won the previous election, we were destined to put another lefty in the White House since both Obama and McCain are left handed. Other lefty notables: Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Angelina Jolie and my daughter Alyssa. Check out this web site of famous left handers.
