The president of the United States, Barack Obama, who is no stranger to controversy, plunged into an exceptionally heated sector of American life on Wednesday when he disclosed his preferences for pens. According to an interview that the former president gave to the New York Times, he informed the newspaper that when he is authoring long-form work, such as his most recent book, A Promised Land, he likes to draw out his early drafts by hand rather than on a computer. In addition to this, much like any self-respecting stationery geek, Obama is "quite specific" about the writing implements he uses, favoring the combination of a yellow legal pad and a black rollerball pen with a micro-point that is made by Uni-ball Vision Elite.
When it comes to the written word, Obama has room for improvement. It's true that he was a law professor, and it's also true that old habits die hard. However, the typical legal pad is often constructed from low-quality, very porous paper, which tends to soak up ink, which might possibly obscure the accuracy of the former president's apercus. However, if you use that paper with a fine-tipped rollerball, you should be able to reduce the amount of bleed-through and feathering that occurs, thus his preferred writing instrument is a good option. It is a pen that uses liquid ink and has a nice flow, and according to the website of the company that makes it, its patented technology "protects against water, fading, and fraud," which is an issue that is vital to public officials, even retired ones.
