Without looking it up..

Over the course of the last 40 years who were the three right-handed presidents? Hint: none of them are well remembered.

[duffyduff]

1. Carter, Reagan, and Bush II n/t

[loyalsister]

2. Nope

Reagan was a lefty who was forced to write with his right hand. Conventional wisdom outside of serious political discussion remembers him well.

[duffyduff]

6. Reagan was right-handed. YOU are wrong. Being forced doesn't matter. Lots of people were in

his time.

I was around then when he was president. He wrote with his right hand.

These presidents of recent note were left-handed: Ford, Bush I, Clinton, and Obama.

The 1992 election was notable because all three major party candidates were left-handed: George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot.

I am left-handed, and I paid attention to that.

Case closed.

9. You forgot Nixon

3. Nixon, Reagan and Ford, I think.

n/t

[loyalsister]

5. Reagan was a lefty

Don't ya love the irony! Ford's clumsiness was attributed to his left-handedness.

[duffyduff]

7. He wasn't a "lefty" by conventional standards.

Lots of people were forced to write right-handed, but that doesn't make them "left-handed."

My sister writes with her right hand and does almost everything else with her left hand. She's NOT "left-handed."

Thank you very much for stereotyping left-handed people as "clumsy."

8. It wasn't my stereotype

I was mentioning a bit of history. Brain-dominance does not go away. Being forced to use the opposite hand doesn't change the neurologically defined tendency. I write, eat, and shoot pool left handed. May I request your expertise to determine my handedness?

4. I said 40, but should have said 44

[Libertas1776]

10. According to wiki

Gerald Ford was ambidextrous.

[loyalsister]

11. Ambidextrious isn't right handed

The righties were Nixon, Carter and W.

[Libertas1776]

12. True,

but it also isn't left handed either.

[loyalsister]

13. I asked who the righties were

[denbot]

14. Johnson Ford Carter..?

[loyalsister]

15. Nixon, Carter, W

[denbot]

16. W could write!?!

Who knew
