Supposedly the right but if you notice on Obamas swearing in he used his left hand, thus making this topic questionable.
------------------------------------
Seriously? Have you never served on jury duty or watched an episode of Law & Order? A Few Good Men? Matlock? Ironside? Any other courtroom drama? The swearing of a witness starts with, "Raise your right hand and repeat after me." Customarily, the left hand (being slightly closer to your heart) is placed on The Bible in English-speaking countries; I'm not sure what they use in other places.
You won't get very far trying to use the Oath of Office to cast aspersions on the legitimacy of any American president. Besides being officiated by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, every modern inauguration has been televised and/or photographed ad infinitum, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to Google an inauguration picture of each one, including Barrack Obama, with his right hand up and his left on a Bible. Just like Perry Mason . . . but in color.

Since oaths are sworn with the raised right hand, the left hand is the only one left to place on the Bible, thus swearing or affirming on the Bible. I think it is not so much significance of the left hand, but that the right hand is always raised for the oath - so the left is the only one left!
