President Obama's doodle style reminds me a little of John Lennon's (one of my other heroes):

In May 2007, Wayne Berzon, a financial executive in the Chicago area, won a doodle by Mr. Obama in an auction to support Neurofibromatosis, Inc., a national advocacy group for sufferers of the genetic disorder. He paid $2,000 for the sketch, and starting today, everyone else can purchase all manner of swag adorned with the signed doodle for considerably less than that. After recouping his costs, Mr. Berzon said, he’ll donate the profits back to Neurofibromatosis, Inc. [...]President Obama continually inspires people to do good things.
“I just thought it’s appropriate on the eve of his inauguration that we continue with the effort that he put forth,” Mr. Berzon said. [...] “I thought, ‘Wow, this guy’s got this overwhelming appeal to people,’” he said, adding, “There must’ve been something meant to be great by this.” [...]
In addition to selling T-shirts and mugs online, Mr. Berzon said he is also in talks with sports franchises and fast food chains to put Mr. Obama’s drawing on cups and other paraphernalia in May, during which the group holds its “Doodle Day” fund-raiser.
