Malia Obama is nearly 5'4" at 10 years old so she is probably going to be 6'0" or more when she finally stops growing

I'm a Conservative-Republican, so I listen to conservative talk radio. Michael Medved is the host of one of the shows I listen to. He personally said that he was 6'2" and Obama barely appeared an inch shorter than him when he met him. and unfortunatly, I had the pleasure of meeting Obama at a ralley in Gary,Indiana (Where I live) because my friend was voting for him. When I shook his hand, I had to look up a little bit, because I'm only 5'9" and he was easily 6'1.5"/6'2"

Bush wasen't a bad president and he wasen't a big liar like people mad him out to be Anonymous. People like you are to stupid and lazy to look into fact instead of just following the liberal media. Obama sucks and I don't care who knows it. But yes, I do see 6'1"/6'2" for him.

Probably 6-1. Anyone get a good look at Obama's footwear? Like many men with tall wives, he could have a little enhancement there but not all the time. This could account for people not agreeing on what they are seeing. Short guys are not necessarity the only ones to wear lifts!

He is about 6 foot 1. When they showed Carter, Former Presidents Bush and Clinton, then current President Bush and then President Elect Obama at the White House, Obama was taller than George W. Bush who is 6 feet, but shorter than George H.W. Bush who is about 6 feet 2.

GW Bush is listed as 5'11", Clinton is listed as 6'2.5", Obama is listed as 6'1.5" and Bush Sr. is listed as 6'2" upon entering office. Given how much a President seems to age during their time in office, I wouldn't be surprised if the all lost an inch or more by the time they left.

Obama looks an inch taller than Bill Clinton. I thought the press said Clinton was 6 ft 2 in. Has Bill lost 2 inches while in office? Well, I guess that blows that myth.

German, it's kind of hard to compare heights with a diagonal picture where Clinton is much closer to the camera than Barack.
Bush looked 2-3 inches shorter than Obama during the inauguration. This seems right.

It kinda seems Obama has varying heights in several pics, but his posture is more slouched. Broad shoulders, race, and the fact that he appears "gangly" makes him round 6-6'1".
that's not true anon - obama is definetely not broad shoulders. He has a rather thin frame.

Clinton was listed at 6'2" then 6'2.5". The guy is not even 6'1" now though, and I seriously doubt he was ever a full 6'2".
Bush Sr. was the tallest at the recent living Presidents conference. He edged Obama despite standing a few inches further from the camera *and* having a wider stance. Click Here

Michelle Obama is probably closer to 5'10. In heels she has a slight edge on Obama so hes probably a solid 184cm barefoot and 187cm in shoes.

Obama isn't over 6'1 and is 185 max because today with HW Bush he looked shorter than him. HW Bush was 6'2 peak and is now probaly 6'1.5 or 6'1 which makes Obama 6'1 at most. He is 184-85 barefoot. Clinton wasn't the tallest he barely looked 6 foot. He has shrunk. W Bush is 178-79

Can recall his early publicity, where he/his people seemed to try & associate everything they could with Lincoln -- and read (many times) where Obama would be the talled President shared with Lincoln at 6' 4". I don't think that was honest, comparing Abe's height with his. He seems 6'1-2" at best -- he's Bill Clinton's height, and not Lincoln's.
That's crazy. Many presidents are taller than Obama. Bush, Clinton, Johnson, FDR, Jefferson, and Washington just to name a few.

If he were 187cm they would say roughly 6ft2. Now when I look at other pictures I think 6'0.5 barefoot and 6'1.5 in shoes makes the most sense. 184cm if anything probably is his height.

I've seen Barack in person twice and he is no taller than 6'1. If his people is saying he's 6'1 then he's no taller than that. They will always upgrade a Presidents height, not downgrade it.

The problem with McCain at 5'7" and Obama at 6'1" is that McCain was only 4" shorter face-to-face with Obama, not the 6" needed to make that true.

When his press office said - 'roughly 6ft 1' I think he is not a full 6'1" If he was they would have said 6'1" without the word 'roughly' meaning he is below 6'1" in reality.
His morning height is most likely 6'0.75" and his daytime height is 6'.05" bedtime height is 6'0/0.25 He has a very lean build, so it adds to the impression that he is taller than he really is. Viper what do you think?

Lol sorry I make you laugh Vegas, but I don't look at it as man in his mid 70's wearing elevators, more like a man running for u.s. president and has to be seen as a strong powerful leader wearing elevators, I love McCain, wish everyday he woulda won, but I really think he's more like 5'7 max!
Oh and the popular vote showed these two were very close,it's hard to say thats what America wanted, more like what california and celebs wanted, it's like if you voted for a and b and a had 51% and b had 49% yet you switched to electorial votes and a had 75% and b had 25%, but non-the-less, he won, nothig I can do about it now cept run his name down like everyone did to bush,and believe me I will, haha! But Obama is 6'0 Mccain 5'6-5'7. I often think Bush is around 5'10. Politician, have to look tall and powerful!

I'ma discuss his height, since we can't do politics, lol! But I will comment and say a "definate no" on every republican wanted him. Mccain & Obama were very close in the race, yet thanks to electorial votes, california voted our us president. But southern (republican) states voted for McCain, like louisiana where i'm from. Anyways, not to start a dispute, how bout we discuss his height, his staff says 6'1 and I say he's 6'0. He's thin thin, making him look taller, but when does he ever look 6'2? Even 5'6-5'7 mccain (prolly in elevators) didnt look too much shorter than him. I'd say 6'0 Obama and 5'6-5'7 McCain!
I'ma discuss his height, since we can't do politics, lol! But I will comment and say a "definate no" on every republican wanted him. Mccain & Obama were very close in the race, yet thanks to electorial votes, california voted our us president. But southern (republican) states voted for McCain, like louisiana where i'm from.

"Viper , I do keep up with politics even though I don't seem the type lol ! ... and yes they do have Republicans that voted for him !
This is what America wanted , Americans think he is best for the job !
Back to height , I don't think he is taller then 6'1 !"
McCain had Hillary Democrats and Joe Lieberman voting for him. That road goes both ways, and no the vast majority of Republicans did NOT want Barack. Something like 90% of Republicans are frightened by Obama's voting record and extreme left-wing ties.
Barack isn't over 6-1.

There is no way Obama is more than 6'1''. If a politician says he's 6'1'', that means he's 6'1'' MAX and probably a little (or a lot) under.

TO MMA Fan: The video does show President Obama appearing as the taller man, but ex-President Bill Clinton, has bad posture. You can see he's leaning to his right. President Obama is standing staight up. At one point they almost match up in the video(check the 17,18 second mark). So it goes back to what I believe, as stated before. President Obama's height is roughly 6'1" to 6'1.5" when on the grand stage due to dress shoes he is wear at the time. BUT! at Home with Michelle and the kids(+ one said promised dog...) he's about 6'0 to 6'.5". If you think its just a theory of mine. Measure your height without any shoes on. Then measure yourself with a pair of dress shoes on, or running shoes, and you will see the difference in height.
Oh yeah... ex President Bill Clinton's not 6'1". He's 6'0. Peace! :D

He looks about 6'to 6'.5", 155lbs to 160lbs. Why do I believe this? Men dress shoes do have a half inch to one inch heel. So yes that would put him about 6'1" to 6'1.5", when you presents himself. Also with the combination of being on the slim side, would make him look about 6'2". I get mistaken for 6'0 to 6'1" at work all the time, but I'm 5'11.5" 155lbs. Like Spike Lee said. "Its gotta be the shoes..." I don't speak for all Canadian's, but I know more than a handful are happy Barack Obama is President of the U.S.A.

obama looks a strong 6'1.25. So I would say he is about 6'2 or 6.2.25 1.88 when he wakes up.
he looks taller due to being slim.
but that is a better look than overweight.
He also has a deep voice at about 6'1 -6'3 people seem to have deeper voices. Look at Sorbo.

Honestly, Sarah Palin as President is no scarier to me than Obama as Pres., as neither have any significant foreign policy experience (the primary domain of the U.S. Pres); on the other hand, at least Palin's track record has shown she can succeed on domestic policies unlike Obama.

We are supposed to be the most powerful nation in the world. Why can't our president look like America?

Those Michelle pictures, Obama looks 6'0.5
And think his campaign saying he's 6'1 is rounding up. Also he was about 1.5in taller than 5'11 Gordon Brown when they met months ago at the White House.
Also he's 4.5in taller than John McCain. A 6'2 Obama would make McCain 5'9.5 which he is clearly not

Rob,
First of all I like to say that I appreciate this site a lot. I visit it every day.
But why does this site tend to overestimate height?
"" On newspaper seemingly asked his press office to which they said "roughly 6ft 1". ""
So he is MAX 6'1"!

If Obama was 6'1 1/2", I'd hope that they would actually list him as 6'1 1/2". If he's not 6'2", then he shouldn't be listed at 6'2". Being listed as 6'1" could mean that he's 6'1" flat or a half inch above that.

It's allways hard to tell on photo's how tall a person is comparising to another person. When the camera is a little bit tilt sidewards, a person looks taller then the other allthough he might even be shorter.
Further on, the shoewear. You can buy even shoes which makes you larger and you can't see it from the outside.

She had on heels that she said were 5 or 6". So, I think Barack Obama is at least 6'2". There's no way that he's 5'8" or 5'9".

I was standing nose to nose to the man when he shook my hand and I was looking at him straight in the eye. My son is 6'1" and when I am that close to him my head has to tilt up to look him in the eye. If Obama is 6'1" then he was standing in a hole when I meet him.

Though, I think people estimating higher for Obama shows that he probably is a legit 6-1 anyway. Since 6-1 on his kind of frame can look taller.

Nixon was solid 5'10". His official bio lists him at 5'11-1/2" which is nonsense. JFK was 6'. When he was autopsied they measured him on the table and came up with a half an inch more, but that was due to the fact that a body can read being slightly taller when prone.

Frank, I think the reason why most ppl think he's short is due to his squat appearance - the fact that he cant raise his arms above his shoulders, they were broken many times in Vietnam in the various torture techniques they used on him.
While recieveing a medal from Nixon he was about 1.5 inches shorter - but he was leaning on crutches. I don't know how tall Nixon was - Some say 5'10 or 5'11.
And was JFK really 6'2? He looks closer to 6ft, which would make Robert 5'10ish

There is a better chance hes 6-0 than 6-2, in my opinion. If he was only 2 inches taller than John Edwards then that puts him at 6-0 1/2 or 6-1. Since Edwards is not taller than 5-11. If Obama is really 6-2 his publicists would have that as his height. But his real height is 6-1 or close to it.

@Frank2: no way he is 6'2. I saw him "life" in Berlin. 6'1 to be generous. And he wore good heels. He was just as tall as most men in the crowd that he passed after his speech. Maybe slightly taller, but never 6'2.

Anyone know who this is with McCain and how tall he is?:

Maybe they made sure all these sailors were no taller than 5'6":

I'm not going to argue this nonsense any longer. McCain is no more 5'6" than George Bush is 6'4". McCain is a solid 5'8" and could be 5'9" if he stood up erect.
And Obama is 6'2", period.

You posted three consecutive post, but they'd all be more telling if you got him standing next to someone closer to 5'8" than 6'0".

Reagan was 6'1" in his prime and by the time he served as president he had lost about an inch. I met him on two occasions and both times he was taller than me by about an inch.
One more time, McCain is at least 5'8" and I believe when he was younger he was at least 5'9".
I sometimes think this silly rumor stuff about him being a shrimp is politically motivated.

Officially listed heights of famous people are always suspect. Example:
They list Richard Nixon at 5'11-1/2". Nonsense. Nixon was around 5'10". Somewhere I have a shot of him with my father who was 5'9-1/2" and the two look pretty much the same height. Just look at Nixon next to JFK. He's at least two inches shorter.
They list Jimmy Carter at 5'9". Carter in his prime was more like 5'8", now probably down to 5'6".
JFK is always listed at an even 6'. In actuality he was 6'-1/2" according to his official autopsy report.
Then there's all the male celebs who constantly fake their heights.
John McCain was listed in his Navy records as being 5'9" back when he flew missions over Vietnam. He's no more 5'6" than John Wayne was 5'8" (claimed by someone on this forum). I met McCain at a political action committee meeting, shook his hand and spoke to him. He's about 5'8". I also met Bob Dole and he's tall. Over 6'.

His press office and publicists say 6-1, so hes not above that. Frank, you can be 6-1 and photograph tall just like Obama. Even at 6-0 too. People arnt that much taller today than they were 30 years ago. And I doubt Mccain was ever 5-9. Hes officially listed at 5-7. I doubt hes above that too.

Obama is tall. Just look at any photo of him standing next to people or watch him on TV. Unless one is at least 6'2" these days, they don't photograph tall when around other guys that are 6'+. Bottom line is people are taller today.
And once again, McCain is 5'8". He's over seventy and went through hell in the Hanoi Hilton so I expect he lost some height and was at one time 5'9".

Obama gives a taller impression. Part of it is because he stands next to his wife, who is pretty tall herself and wears heels.

Doink,
It's funny. I've seen most other media outlets give McCain's height as an amazingly overstated 5'9"! I always pegged him at 5'7", myself. It's funny that CBS is the only one to get his height, correct.
The media has done reports on how McCain has problems with podiums because of his height, which always got me thinking, if he's 5'9", he wouldn't have problems with podiums.

edwards is at least 6 feet if not taller, I am 6ft with no shoes on and I meet him in sc, he was at least an inch taller then I was, we both had shoes on. Perhaps he had lifts on. But he appeared tall. Obama looks to be 6'2 or 6'3 easily.

Nope. Closer to 6'2". Very slender, but tall. Go on the web and Check him out standing next to 6' John Edwards. He's clearly two inches taller. And in recent photos with Bill Clinton who used to stand 6'2", but has lost about an inch, Obama is about an inch taller. And Obama is almost as tall as 6'3" Jesse Jackson. In photo after photo of him with Jackson, there's only about an inch difference. I've seen Jackson in person and he towered over me and I'm 5'11".

Obama is a solid 6 feet. More importantly, he has command presence. This makes seem larger than life. Something McCain is sorely lacking.

Look at Obama's proportions. He appears to have a small head, this makes him look taller. Go to YouTube look at recent footage with Gordon Brown (UK Prime Minister) they are similar height but Brown never looks tall as he appears to have a larger head proportionally. That applies to all people, head to body ration gives 'illusion' of tall or short..regardless of actual height, in photos, film etc.

I saw Obama life today in Berlin. I was standing in the crowd while he was passing by and shaking hands after his speech. From 5 meters distance I saw him at about 5'11 - 6 foot. Nothing taller for sure as he was about the same height as most men in the crowd. German average height form men is about 5'11. He looked lean and lanky but not really tall.

Shaun, you mentioned that taller candidates win the presidency. John Kerry it taller than Bush by several inches and still lost in 2004. So there is no positive correclation between the height of a candidate and the who ultimately wins the presidency.

Most politicians, when over 6'0", have numerous photo-ops which simply make their height manifest to the viewer.
Inthe case of Obama, it appears he is always photographed standing on a curb, platform, elevated stage, or in a fashion so that he appears taller than his true height.
Very few full length photos are publicized of him, in relationship to other objects to help gauge his height.
Relative to others in the photos, if he is over 5'10", he has a very awkward, almost abnormally appearing torso height compared to others around him.
I suspect he is closer to 5'8.
