If the picture was taken in 1967 as the site claims, I would believe that Obama was only 3 years old at the time of the picture! That would mean a birth year of around 1964.
However they could be lying about the date of the photo to make it seem like the mother was 21 instead of 18 years old when she gave birth to Obama which would be significant if he was born abroad.
In his 1972 5th grade picture he does look like a fifth grader. However he could have grown fast. African kids can grow fast at times as can any nationality. Also in the picture he is on a raised level so that he may look taller than he actually is. He probably was tall for his age to be at the back, but he wasn't as tall as he looks in the picture, clearly, as he is on a raised level.
When do we get to the switched at birth with the child of a peasant scenario, or he was born in 1964 and there was a prior child born in 1961 who died and they used the records?
Is there a 1961 birth certificate of Obama in the first place?
It appears that we have two birth dates that were reported for Obama, one in 1961 and one in 1964.
This could have an extraordinary explanation as he couldn't have been born in both years. So whatever the case in looking in to this we will have to seem like tin foil hatters.

The “An American Expat in Southeast Asia” blog reports that Obama’s Indonesian schooling began when he was entered into the Roman Catholic, Franciscus Assisi Primary School, in Jakarta, Indonesia, on January 1, 1968 and sat in class 1B.
He was registered under the name of Barry Soetoro, serial number 203. School documents list Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was listed as Islam.
Born on August 4, 1961, Obama would have been 7 years and 5 months old. That’s late to start school.
Obama may have started Kindergarten in Hawaii but was whisked off to Indonesia as a result of his mother’s second marriage. There are 5 missing years in Anna’s CV between Obama Sr. abandoning the family and her emigration to Indonesia with Lolo.
Obama will complete the first 3 grades at Assisi...
