President-elect Barack Obama is beginning to reveal how he'll act as president. Michelle Dresbold can predict what he'll do better than most.

""Obama's overly large signature shows he likes attention and is a bit of an egotist, which is common among public figures," she said. "He does something unusual with the 'O' and 'b' in his last name."

Whether Obama does it consciously or subconsciously, by intersecting his "O" and his "b" he forms the Greek symbol "phi".

"Since ancient times, this symbol has represented the golden ratio, the ideal proportion," said Dresbold...""

Does he normally write author features like this? She seems to love 0.

According to Michelle Dresbold’s bio:

“Handwriting expert Michelle Dresbold—the only civilian to be invited to the United States Secret Service's Advanced Document Examination training program—draws on her extensive experience helping law enforcement agencies around the country on cases involving kidnapping, arson, forgery, murder, embezzlement, and stalking to take us inside the mysterious world of crossed t’s and dotted i's.”

Sounds like she's familiar with Chicago style politicking.

iIMO 0bama’s signature is so practiced - artifical, like someone who’s practiced hand gestures and facial expressions in a mirror (he’s done that, too) - it’s not worth analyzing. Just my .o2.

In graphology, the last name is supposed to be indicative of the person's connection to their family. It is interesting that Obama splits his “O” for 2 reasons. Two separate fathers and a white mother/black father.

The computer took the signature and produced a calculated assessment of personality it belonged to...

I’m curious, what is that figure?

[null and void]

The 0 is split vertically.

The O shaped B is nearly split horizontally...

[null and void]

Compare that 0 to another enigmatic person's signature:

Coincidence? You be the judge...

Ping. Weird eh?

Obama, the “Golden boy” is also associated with phi, the “Golden Number” or “Golden Ratio” or “Divine Proportion”.

Rust is more like it!

I think my bumper sticker is more appropriate. (See tag)
