Is The Current President Of The Usa A Dwarf?

[sandyRoe]

This is prompted by another thread inviting captions for a picture showing a former president of France, Nicholas Sarkozy, with Obama. The American president looks very small.

[chrisgel]

Obama is 6 foot 1 inch
Sarkozy is 5 foot 5 inches

[wolf63]

Sarkozy has been using Photoshop.

according to google obama is 6' 1'' which i find very surprising ... sarkozy is 5' 5''

[snags]

Obama is standing in the hole he's dug for himself over Syria...

[janbee]

sarkozy is only 5 ft 5ins when he's wearing his 5" heels !!

[snags]

Is there light at the end of it?

[boxtops]

Obama was half a mile away

[Octavius]

Maybe its perspective. Obama is further away. France is nearer.

[anneasquith]

no, but we know who was wearing the high heels :)

Sigh. I'm only going to explain this one more time, Sandy;

Ah, Father Ted and Dougal. I've been told that I bear more than a passing resemblance to the third member of that trinity, Father Jack.

Sarkhozy just thought he was tall...

[Svejk]

I wish I'd never started this;

There's an official picture of Hitler at the infamous 'peace in our time ' meeting where he is a tall as people who we know were actually tall.He is standing behind a table which has a long cloth draped over it. We may guess that hides the box he was standing on!

Sarkozy reportedly always ensured that his attendant guards were among the smallest available. Such vanity (or insecurity about image)
