I prefer the last, without the faces.

  this morning we looked up some facts about President Obama and what a nice surprise to find this video. Wonderful opportunity to discuss sign names again --And this lady signs great - we like it 
   
  So right now we do know about four different sign-Names from USA and perhaps a fifth the German broadcast interpreter "invented" (???) 
   
  I am curious which of these options will become the widely accepted among the Deaf in America .. It will take some time to find out - I guess 
   
  Here are the options so far 
   
  
   
   
  I know that this spelling is the German style with all our Mouthmovements that go along with the sign. Can you read the mouth saying “OBAMA”
   
  Stefan

  Wow! Peter this is a wonderful video. A Deaf person, Kirsi Grigg, from  
  Gallaudet, gives Barack Obama his "Name Sign" in ASL from the Deaf  
  Community...which is an O hand and then a B handshape that moves into  
  a partial sign for Flag...
   
  Watch the video - I think she describes it beautifully in ASL...
   
  And a lot of Deaf responses said they like the sign...
   
  So now Peter, can you write this in SignWriting for us? If you have  
  time, place it in the ASL Dictionary Puddle online:

  Many thanks for informing us!
   
  Val ;-)
