LOOK AT THIS PHOTO

I never noticed this before, but is that a ring on Obama's ring finger on his left hand?

3. Looks like it - good eye. Probably a high school or college

class ring is my guess.

16. I wore my class ring on my left hand for quite a while.

I like feeling "balanced" with rings - if I have a ring on my right ring finger, I also need one on my left ring finger. I didn't get married until I was 31, so over the years, I had several different rings on my left hand that were not wedding rings.

30. So did I. Like Obama, I am left-handed and rings feel more

comfortable on my left hand.

7. Maybe it's a promise ring?

Years ago - guys and gals used to swap class rings as a 'promise' ring to show they were going 'steady' with one person... an old fashioned concept these days!

13. You think they haven't?

I don't know for sure, but I was under the impression that Barack was always more into school than girls. There may not be that many to find.

38. Apparently, he was not just into school, he was a ladies' man in his younger days.

There was a Vanity Fair article posted about this a few months' back.

11. He is left handed. It is like wearing a watch on your right wrist instead of your left.

Anyone know which hand he wears his wedding ring on today?

12. The wedding ring finger

Everyone wears their wedding rings on their left ring finger...or so I thought. This ring looks just like his wedding ring he wears now.

22. I'm sure if Obama wa previously married we would have

29. Uh, ya think?

If Obama had been married before Michelle, I think we all would have known before now.

I just noticed the ring and I believe there may be a SWEET story behind it. Maybe the ring was his father's? Maybe the ring was Ann's? Maybe it was a promise ring? There is a reason or story behind that ring and it's killing me to know what it is. Everything about this man is intriguing.

Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 11:42 AM by bluedawg12

that ring means little- what does mean a lot is a very sweet picture of Sen. Obama with a pair of loving, proud and supportive grand parents.

How "exotic"is that? LMAO. Stupid RW hate machine.
