TRIVIAL PURSUITS : You may have noticed that President Obama is left-handed - but he's not the first. Who was the last left-handed U.S. President?
The last left-handed president was none other than Bill Clinton - but George H. W. Bush was also left-handed, as was Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford . Before that you have to go back to Harry Truman .
Other left-handed presidents include James A. Garfield and Herbert Hoover .
