Draw a horizontal line from the top of 0’s head to the guy on his RHS (our left.) Figure that kid is about 5-11”. Note 0’s head is about 2” taller. Note also legs,0’s knee is about 1.5” higher. That would mean that his upper leg is also 1.5” longer.
Do the math: 0 would be about 5 “ taller than that kid (again, the dark-haired kid, not the runt.)
They say that 0 is about 6’1.5” inches tall. He is taller in high school than he is now. Of course older people lose stature as they age and the discs in their back compress. But it’s hard to imagine he’d shrink 2.5”s.
The may have altered to make Obama look taller and more imposing. Or, they may have moved him in the center of the pic for the same reason. But there is definitely something weird about this photo.
By the way, it seems height has significance for journalists him; check this link from Salon,
2007:http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/02/12/obama_natural/
This mixed review, so to speak, states that his height is 6-2”. Exaggeration? Most peg him at 6-1 to 6-1.5.
Maybe he wears lifts.
One last thought about the hands: their position suggests they were originally draped over a ball.
should be fairly easy to locate a yearbook from that school.... look at the basketball teams, jv and varsity, and see if he is indeed in the photos
not to mention, we have a number of people in this photo. can any of them be found?
Matching faces...Clockwise around Obama in the 1977 photo:
12:00 could be 1979’s #3 or #22 (a stretch)
3:00 could be 1979’s #31
9:00 could be 1979’s #21
6:00 could be 1979’s #4
Yeah, but is that Barry Soetero the same Obama that sits in the WH? I am starting to wonder.
Keep in mind all the info that is kept from us by the administration.
Got it! LOL......
When Imanutjob was in “high school” he was leading a team of terrorists holding Americans hostage in our embassy.
OMG!
LOL!
I’ve seen these same faces in other photos from the school yearbooks. And I have to say that in examining seven or eight other school photos of Obama, they all looked perfectly legitimate to me (except perhaps for one other I recently discovered, on which I’m withholding judgment until I have had a chance to truly inspect it). Outside of that, it’s just the one picture that has such odd features that at a minimum, I suspect it was retouched for whatever reason.
Interesting.
In autumnraine’s picture in post 109, Obama is No. 25.
In andy58-in-nh’s picture of the 1979 team, someone else is No. 25.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Either that or a knee that has been whited out.
I think it’s the same person, judging from facial development over time, although I’m hardly an expert. There are lots of pictures of him as a child and a young man available on the internet, and you can judge for yourself. No sense in us getting paranoid about his progeny, though. The guy’s policies are scary enough.
I wouldn’t put too much stock in that fact; anyone who was on a high school team knows that you can easily change uniform numbers, especially as you move from JV to Varsity.
How do we know those pix are even “him”?
I’m not willing to say it’s not him in the photos. I think he may have had some work done over the years, especially the chin and possibly the nose. Although, these days both are in the air much of the time so it could just be the angle that makes them look different now from when he was younger.
You know there is nothing wrong with healthy interest in getting to the bottom of something.
The media used to do that, but now, we do it.
I am all for stopping his policies. I just find all of this odd. It would clear up a lot if he would release the other info even if he doesn’t releace his COLB.
releace=release
What number is in group picture? It ISN'T 21, there is already a #21, It isn't #25, he's next seat down and was used by obama in next photo to left. Also there is no #23 in group picture that was used in far left photo.
