It's his style, but it doesn't look authentic to me.

Lynn, I didn't notice that it's a poster. Signing something big often looks different. What size is it, and can you post the entire poster please?

Standard campaign rally poster size, probably about 20x12 ish.

Thanks, Lynn. I'm going to discuss this with another member. I think it's probably real, but due to being a bit larger than normal and probably signed in public under less than optimal conditions, the last name is a little unusual. I'll see what he says.

I understand. "Barack" is typical IMO. What set me off on "Obama" was the "ama" and the length of the "b". 

I just checked PSA's exemplars and found this one, which is very similar:

Similar but I still don't like the one in the OP.  it just doesn't look right.
