Bill Clinton IP ?

Ok I got this signed when he was giving a speech at my college while he was campaigning for Hillary. I noticed today that there is a slight smear in the ink.
I think why I am questioning it is because his staff collected items to be signed and returned them after he signed them.

His staff always collected items backstage for him to sign. Obamas staff did the same. They collected several of my items and had them signed at both a rally with Bill and Hillary.

It is definitely authentic--no doubt in my mind about it.

Congrats! {thumb2}

I don't see the tel-tell AP signs.

Did you know there is a small portable AP Machine?

Yes, I did know that. In fact, Barack Obama used it a lot during the campaign. Many sellers on eBay sell items signed by Obamas autopen as authentic on eBay.

Bill Clintons autopen has NEVER looked like the signature you have. I am 100% positive this is not signed with an autopen. Im absolutely positive that it is authentically signed.

That is definately authentic. {thumb2}

There were rumors that Obama brought an Autopen on the campaign trail with him, but there's never been any proof of this actually happening.

Nothing wrong with that sig. Here's the sig I got in person Monday July 22nd 2004 when Bill promoted his book in London. Even with different pens you can see the similarities.

Thanx for easing my fears. I had thought that it was real but was worried to put it up for viewing.

Yes there has been proof. I received one of my books back autopenned at one of the rallys I attended. What more proof is needed when members get there books back signed with the exact same autopen template? It is a known fact, not even debated.

Here is a great article which discusses the use of Obamas autopen on the campaign trail:
