The President isn't Lutheran either, he's Protestant so how likely is he to know about another religion's idiosyncrasies? Not everyone knows about their left hand hangup.

Lutherans are Catholics that think themselves better then Catholics, they share alot of the same customs.
Is the left not infuriated that he makes any kind of religious sign?
he's a Muslim, so what do you expect? This country voted him in again and it certainly showed how many idiots we have in our country now doesn't it. We all suffer for those who voted for this Muslim again. Hard to believe we have that many dumb people in our society but guess we do.

You talk like that's a bad thing.

See, this is what I was talkingabout, Unky. Skull is probably on your side of the issues, but man, you just have to pick a fight with him on this petty point.
Incidently, grew up Catholic, no one ever said anything about the left handed kids making the sign of the cross with their left hand.

for once i agree with you Frankie.....
The two party system has divided the people in this country and obama has also divided the people which is just wrong. The liberals have become almost unamerican. The american people should stand together, but that is long gone.
I detest the two party system. Politicians are fighting, and dem's and rep's are going against each other. And all of us citizens are the losers because of it. We are no longer "we the people" we have americans and socialist now.
Its all about the politicians and what they can gain, not what we the people need or should gain. What a shame. Our country has gone to the dogs.

My opinion, they are in on it together there is no other rational answer. How a president can be reelected with this economy is just beyond comprehension. So I think that the "in" fighting we see is a shame, they work together to our demise. It would not have mattered if Romney would have won.

If it wouldn't have mattered, it's because the real power funds both sides. If you want real democracy, you're going to have to pay for it. Support public funding of elections.

There is no RULE requiring the right hand!

ROME, 6 SEPT. 2011 (ZENIT)
Answered by Legionary of Christ Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university.
And yet, there is no deep theological reason for preferring one hand or another. It is a question of practicality and longstanding custom, similar to the different ways of making the sign of the cross, moving the hand from right to left among most Eastern Catholics while the Latin rite traditionally prefers a left-to-right movement.
It is true that there are many biblical passages that speak of the power of God's right hand, and of Our Lord sitting "at the right hand of the Father." The literary figures contained in these texts are significant in many theological contexts and are certainly related to the liturgy's general preference for the use of the right hand. But I think it would be forcing the issue to use them to exclude other possibilities, or convert the use of the right hand into an absolute rule. These texts simply reflect the use of universal symbols of power grounded on the fact that 90 percent of people are right-handed.
If circumstances warrant it, then an alternative mode can be adopted. For example, when Blessed John Paul II broke his arm he felt no qualms in using his left hand to impart the apostolic blessing. Likewise, a person who is unsteady on his legs could genuflect according to whichever member gave greater balance.
