Is this Barack Obama signature real? What do you think?

Hi,

First of all, I am not a signature collector. Only a big admirer of Barack Obama. I recently bought this item. What do you think and why?

Thank you in advance for sharing your insights!

I'm not a big admirer of BO, but the signature looks legit, as long as it is not a copy.

I agree with Terrier. The autograph looks real to me but it needs to be seen in person to make sure it's not some sort of copy. What is it on?

Hi, appreciate your answer. Here is a complete picture. I did have several looks with a magnifying glass. I am not a specialist, but I think I can say it is not a copy. The printed letters are complete different (small dots) and I do notice the crossings of the ink to be much darker and I also see that the lines are not everywhere the same width (as you would expect from a pen drawing/autograph). I checked with a pen drawing that I made myself, and I think I can say it is defiantly ink. Again, you have doubtless more experience than me, so do correct me if I would be wrong.
