All I can say is my eyes do not interpret this as Lincoln having a compromised right shoulder, arm, and hand. My first impression would be that Gardner said something like, "Mr. President, why don't you bend your right elbow for this one?" I have no explanation why Gardner would do that...maybe Lincoln just decided to do it on his own. My eyes simply and honestly do not see it as a sign of right side weakness.
