I just can't fathom why President Obama uses a ballpoint pen to sign documents. http://newsblog.projo.com/2009/01/president-order.html

Hmmmm.Interesting.

Probably because no one has made him custom pens yet.

Craft a nice fountain pen for him with one of those nice nibs that you sell. Maybe he will change his ways??

Did you ever see the 10 cent pen that senator McCain withdrew from is jacket pocket to demonstrate how he was going to veto the pork laden bills. Man, we coulda made a fortune.

I often recommend ballpoint pens for left-handed writers. Regular ballpoint pen ink is alcohol based, and dries very quickly. Gel ink, rollerball ink, and fountain pen ink dry more slowly. Therefore, they are more likely to smudge when the hand drags across it.

That is why I don't like to use pencils. And you are right about the pen inks. I prefer nice, smooth writing heavy ballpoints for myself because of that reason. I think that is why I like the cigar kit so much.

He would need a special assistant pen filler for a fountain pen!!! Has anyone every seena formal signing where the president uses about 50 pens to do one signature so that there are souvenirs?
