The large “O” at the beginning of his last name says it all. Narcissist, fer sure.

I was looking for a heart or smiley face at the end. Very immature looking signature…not a grown up. Very revealing.

Okay, that is one creepy image.

There was also the creepy hand sign from the campaign.

Interesting is this One World. It almost has the makings of a pseudo-religion.

“One World,” well there’s a valid association, Doc. It makes me think of the campaign art that featured O in a “one world” motif–for example:

Also, in comparing Obama’s “O” to Oprah’s, I notice how Oprah’s “O” is an oval, whereas Obama’s is very symmetrical, as if it were drawn with a compass. The long stem of the “b” bisects the center of the “O” very precisely. It’s hard to rapidly draw such a symmetrical O, for me at least.

One World? A sort of new age symbol of the earth?

Oprah does something similar with her “O”

Take from this what you will, but I just googled handwriting samples and came across samples from Charles Manson. Oddly enough, he used oversized caps and employed the trick of surrounding some of the letters of his name with the beginning caps.

Wow! I wonder if the Prez went to a graphic artist for suggestions on that signature. Talk about stylized. What’s with the lower case “b” intersecting the globe-like “O.”

You can’t tell me this isn’t deliberate. Either that or my skepticism about handwriting analysis just went up several notches.

Bizarre! Even scary.

I had a chance to compare my signature from 1988 to about 2002, and it was interesting how my penmanship had “decayed” over the fourteen years; the old version was definitely more legible. (I blame it on fourteen more years of paying bills…)

LOL. When I was in 4th grade, the boy next to me in math class would doodle naked pictures. (When he moved on to drawing full grown male penises, my little 11 year old girl self had quite enough. My hand shot right up “Teacher!”) Betcha that boy’s signature has lots of “artistic” flourishes too. Now we know what Barky did during math class!

The O made me think of a boob. Then when I quit thinking about Obama it reminded me of a woman’s breast.

A famous citation comes to mind:

If they bring knives, we’ll bring guns.

Now who was it who said that? Maybe that “bam” in the gun barrel was something thought-out and practiced . . .
