Burgold Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 At yesterday's Georgetown Basketball game, President Obama was asked even though he is left-handed can he go to the right and the President did not deny his left handedness. There we have it. Proof positive that President Obama is a hard-wired member of the lefty communtunity. Let there never be another question about this. He is not ambidextorous, nor is he a righty, but a member of the Left. Now, some of you may ask whether this is biology or a matter of choice. For years, in schools, conservative teachers tried to teach lefties to become righties and the reprogramming was often somewhat successful. Lefties learned to write right, but as this basketball analysts question indicates... Obama has a natural inclination towards the left even if through conscious will he can occassionally go to the right. And remember, left means sinister.

Burgold Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wait....... is this some type of metaphor? When you take away all the other possibilities what you are LEFT with is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLockesGhost Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Was that joke set-up or what? Announcer: "Mr. President, you're left-handed, do you have any trouble going to your right? Obama (immediately): "I just got back from the Republican convention, so clearly I can go right. But there's no doubt I prefer the left." Ok as far as jokes go. I would have liked it better if I didn't have the feeling that it was scripted. BTW, it should be sinister (-stra, -strum) means left, not left means sinister.

Burgold Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Was that joke set-up or what? Oh come on, that was that announcers best fast ball! What do you mean by implying that was a softball put on a tee? (And it's been a little while since I studied word origins, but I thought I stated it correctly. Maybe not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister is just the Latin word for left. So if you were translating something into Latin, I guess saying "left means sinister" is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
