Ever since WWII, there has been a disproportionally high amount of left handed us presidents and president candidates, does this suggest that right handers truly are a slave race? Ronald reagan was naturally left handed but was forced to write with his right hand as 38th president as well Gerald Ford who was of the same issue. In the 1992 election, all three major candidates – George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot – were left-handed. The 1996 election also involved three left-handed candidates: Clinton, Perot, and Bob Dole (who learned to use his left hand after his right hand was paralyzed by a World War II injury). Both major-party candidates in the 2008 presidential election – Barack Obama and John McCain – were left-handed.
