Veterans Group Vows To Get To The Bottom of 'Autopen-gate'

A veterans group is vowing to get a handwriting expert to determine if the letters sent to parents of Navy SEALs killed in Afghanistan were signed by President Obama himself or an electronic autopen that can replicate his signature. 
Karen and Billy Vaughn, whose son Aaron Vaughn was one of 17 SEALs and 13 other Americans killed in a helicopter crash Aug. 6, 2011, raised the issue at a Tea Party rally in Tampa during the Republican National Convention. Karen Vaughn said she compared the signature on her letter, dated Sept. 23, 2011, with those received by other families of SEALs and determined the signature was mechanical.
But the White House insists every letter sent out to the families of fallen service members is signed by the hand of the Commander-in-Chief.

I guess you haven't been to the DC area lately. There are plenty of golf courses in that area that he must conquer :)

Look at the differences in the two Os. The O on the left has a gap at the top, while the O on the right does not have that same gap. There are clear differences between the two signatures, therefore they were not signed by an autopen.
