Left-handed leaders

Left-handed leaders

But Obama is far from being the first, or most recent US president, who is a ciotóg. Their history in the White House goes back to Abraham Lincoln, who was also left-handed. Clinton and Bush Snr are left-handed, while Reagan and Ford were ambidextrous, but used their left hand.

Napoleon, da Vinci, Aristotle and Jimi Hendrix and Bill Gates were left-handed.
