AW: [sw-l] Obama Sign Name

[Adam Frost]

Just a little comment about the last two signs that you wrote. They  
are very similar.


Also, after looking at the video, I would write it a little  
differently because I see the movement happening after the hand  
changes to the B hand.



What are your thoughts?
