There's only one thing that gauche about Obama, and I LOVE It.

Yes, at this point commenting on Barack Obama's hottness is like asking: "Is it cold enough for ya?" It can fill the empty air between two people who have nothing to say to one another.

But that wasn't the case about a year ago. When my roommate (who at the time was not an Obamaphile) came home all breathless over this photo, I was still unconvinced. She asked me if I had seen the photo with him in the Stetson, "he was smokin' hot!" True, this photo shoot may have been the tipping point in the campaign. It is quite universally appealing, or maybe just universally appealing to the Texans.

But, when this photo was printed last February I was unconvinced. He kind of reminded me of Toofer from 30 Rock, kinda skinny, kinda Harvard educated. I just wasn't sure.

Well, those days are long over! Most Democrats, and around now most Americans, can agree that they love all the writing Obama has been doing lately. Closing secret prisons and detention camps. Yeah, you sign away. We love it! Reverse key Bush secrecy policies. Yeah, that's why you got elected! Whose gonna get that pen? I call dibs! Freezing top salaries. Wow, you really are committed! (Maybe his staff wasn't quite so excited about that one)

But, really I just love to watch him write. I love it. love. it. His hand sort of curls around the pen making the round arm that so many lefties use. The way he leans into the pen. How he pushes his arm across the page like he's digging a mini-ditch or doing needle point. I just can't get enough.

About ten percent of the population is left handed, but according to Wikipedia "As of 2009, three or four (counting Reagan) out of the last five presidents have been left-handed. Counting as far back as Truman, the number is five (or six) out of twelve". When I saw Barack scrawling notes during the debates with Hillary I knew that he would be president.

Look at him smiling. She is talking and he is thinking: "I don't even have to say anything, I can just keep on pushing this pen backwards to let everyone see just how left handed I am." He spent much of the time she was speaking writing. She spent much of the time he was speaking making ugly faces. So you see, it was what is known as a tactic. And you know who it worked on: me.

(FYI: He is also the tallest of the candidates and has the most lineage connecting him to the American Revolution and the founding fathers. Both of these trivia bits correlate with being elected Presidents.)

Look at that Southpaw (yeah, that's what lefties are called in baseball) sign that ball. Look at his hand. He doesn't even hold that marker right.

The bumper sticker says "Lefties do it better" which is unverified as of yet, but lefties definitely do it different. I don't know what goes on in those crazy switched up brains of theirs, but I think that all that adapting may give them some special practice at the twists in life. As well as becoming president disproportionately, lefties who go to college are richer and more successful than their right handed counterparts. Even more important, the are disproportionally my best friends.

So all you lefties reading, I guess you now know why we make such a great team. It seems I'm a righty with a lefty's soul, or maybe I'm just a leftyphile. Oh, yeah. Look at that man, I know I'm a leftyphile. Look at that! Go find some video and watch him sign away. You won't be disappointed. Not at all.
