Hey guys,

I found this autograph of Michelle and Barack Obama.

I personally think this is authentic, as it matches other examples I have seen.
But maybe an expert can tell me a bit more.

Thanks for helping again! ;-)

best,
Phil

I found it in the internet. Now I want to know if it is authentic or not, means if I should buy it or not. :)

That's a horrible forgery--stay away! The inscriptions and signature look nothing like the President's handwriting. The signature is way off--it's way too shaky, and obviously done by something right handed.

Also, the President would never do a doodle like that--especially one with a hand giving the middle finger!

This is laughable! a forgery for sure! I have his auto and is inscribed "best wishes", looks nothing like this "handwriting".

This isn't even close. Where do you see "other examples" that are authentic that look this? I don't understand why you seem to think so many forgeries are authentic.

You know, I did know that Obama has a sig that looks "close" (yeah I know it's not close), but a bit like this.
I don't know any other trustworthy examples and as I'm not a political collector I thought this was a sig from his fight for president in 2008. I knew that he collected all books from fans after a speech and signed them.

Additionally thats what this forum is about, to correct or help other people.(Correct me if I'm wrong)
I wouldn't post that pic on here if I were sure that Obama signed it.

best,
Phil
