He is near 6-2 and a great president... a LOT better than the previous one! Anonymous says on 20/Jun/09
All these ridiculous 6-2 and 6-3 comments must mean hes at least 6-1, since most people on here cant tell height and upgrade everyone. John says on 19/Jun/09
I met Barack Obama last summer and he was at least my height, I am 6'2...I would guess that he is almost 6'3. He was just wearing running shoes, getting ready to work out. James says on 18/Jun/09

i rarely see michelle "tower" over her husband. I don't know what pics u guys r looking at. She wears heels but there never very high. I think michelle is 5'11 and BO at 6'1. Hugh 190cm says on 25/May/09
Clinton and Obama are the same height. Both 185-186cm. Hugh 190cm says on 24/May/09
6ft0.75 Anonymous says on 23/May/09
Michelle's always on highheels, which give her an half inch advantage over Barack, so 6'1 is definitely a reasonable estimate. Hanging upside down says on 21/May/09
Barack Obama is in the range of 6'1 and 6'2. Nothing shorter, nothing taller. Michelle is 5'10-5'11. Joey says on 20/May/09
Recently, Barack Obama said during a speech at Notre Dame, "...Next year, if you need a 6-foot, 2-inch forward with a decent jumper, you know where I live."
I'm guessing he's overstating his height by an inch there. 6'1" seems more accurate for him. MD says on 20/May/09
Phil, no offense, but you're an idiot. There simply isn't a more fitting term. Phil says on 18/May/09
Are you ppl serious? Obama isn't tall at all. Michelle is 5'11" and she is clearly taller than him. The president is between 5'9" and 5'10". aram x says on 14/May/09

anon:
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.
Shoulder width and bulk have nothing to do with each other. Shoulder width, contrary to popular-belief, has nothing to do with muscle mass. There are rail-thin people who have ridiculous wide shoulders. J.J. says on 11/May/09
everyone is deluded in here. Obama is 6'1.5" at good posture, his lowest is 6'1.25" with normal posture. Rob has him spot on. Michelle obama is almost 5'11" she is actually 5'10.75". so she just claims 5'11". George Bush in my Opinion is a 5'11" with VERY GOOD POSTURE. but normally he doesn't look anything under 5'10.5".

"roughly 6ft 1" is more like 185 cm. Lenad says on 9/May/09
No I dont think Obama is 5ft9. I think hes a weak 6ft1. Hell a strong 6ft1 is possible Sam says on 6/May/09
Obama is 6 ft 0 in. He probably does what Jack Lord did, wears one inch lifts in his shoes to make him 6 ft 1 in Anonymous says on 6/May/09
I'm sure lenad thinks Obama is 5ft9. Lenad says on 3/May/09
He's a weak 6ft1 most likely. Anything over this Rob listing is overdoing it for Obama aram x says on 3/May/09

Obama didn't play college basketball...he played HIGH SCHOOl basketball, and his brother-in-law is a college basketball coach, but he never played.
He's definitely between 6'1" and 6'2". tom says on 22/Apr/09
i went to maddam tussaurds the other day and although im only 15 and 5ft 10 with shoes on he was about 5 -6 inches taller and they are precision there because they take like 200 photos of the person from differnt angles and his wife is about 5 10.5 barefoot and she wears heels most the time and he still pips her to the post... I reckon 6ft 2.5 barefoot Phil says on 20/Apr/09
I've seen a 2.5 inch difference between Obama and Bush. Big King says on 20/Apr/09
Well, Obama looks 6'-6'0.5" or 183-184cm to me. He's really not over 6'1" because he doesn't even have 2 inches on George W. Bush who stands 5'11.5" at his best. rob says on 19/Apr/09
my uncle played college basketball with him at columbia university and he said he cant be over 6'1. 6'2 with sneakers or elevator shoes. Lenad says on 18/Apr/09

robby you are a funny guy. didn't you check the pictures and videos below? If Obama would stand straight, Sarkozy would come up to his upper lip. While Sarkozy compared with Sanader comes up only a fraction, if that, above his chin. So how can Obama be 189cm if Sanader is 190cm? Hugh 190cm says on 15/Apr/09
189cm is laughable. 186cm is about right. Clinton is around 185cm-186cm, GF says on 15/Apr/09
Glenn are you claiming morning heights for these celebs, or just whatever? robby says on 14/Apr/09
Obama is 189cm 6'2 1/2. Because he is taller than Stephen Harper 6´1 (185-186cm)and same with Bill Clinton who stands today maybe 186cm. Con says on 12/Apr/09
@Mamonazo
Mr Zapatero is 184cm/6'0.5" , Obama is clearly taller. I think Rob is wrong this one. He's described as 6'1" because normally people goes for unaccurate roundings up or down. The later case is the one here. A hair under 6'2" IMHO. BTW wich height is Biden? Rusty says on 12/Apr/09
I think the 165 weight is accurate. He is quite skinny. Hugh 190cm says on 10/Apr/09
Hilarious Lenad I'm suprised you don't buy 5ft10. Lenad says on 10/Apr/09
184-185cm. I doubt hes taller than 186cm barefoot but certainly not shorter than 6ft0. Also Hugh I'm surprised you don't buy 6'3. Uther 2 says on 10/Apr/09
Our president has been listed at 6 ft 2, though I agree that 6 ft 1.25 is probably right on.
President Obama weighs 165 lbs / 75 kg.
Source: Click Here Hugh 190cm says on 7/Apr/09
Actually okay maybe 186cm but I don't buy 6ft2 though. Hugh 190cm says on 7/Apr/09
I don't think Obama is this tall. I personally think he's in the 184cm-185cm range barefoot but might be 186cm out of bed. He was only 1 inch taller than 5ft11er Gordon Brown. J.J. says on 7/Apr/09
Anon I agree with Obama is 6'1.5" but Michelle is 5'10.75" exactly so in her 3" inch heels she stands at 6'1"(6'0.75" to be precise) that's why Obama is bearly 2" taller than her(only 1.75" taller). I think Michelle make the right choice in picking Obama as her husband(height wise) cos he is 2.75" taller than her, which is tall enough to make her feel he is taller. I know women prefer taller but at 5'11" she has got her perfect match. Because woman who are 5'10" plus often scare at lot of men away as men who are over 6'2" are far & in between. mamonazo says on 7/Apr/09
I ALWAYS thought Obama was a tad bit over 6' BUT saw him 2 days ago with pres Zapatero from spain who stands 1.85 and Obama was at least an inch taller. Obama is a hair under 6-2 unless he used lifts. conrad says on 6/Apr/09
Skinny people always look taller and he's VERY skinny
I'd say 6' to 6'1" top

Obama doesn't look a full 6'2". He looks a 6-1 er to me, its his skinny build that makes him look taller. I think Rob has him exact here, barefoot anyway. rony192cm says on 5/Apr/09
sanader is 190cm, i just wanted to see how would you estimate the difference between the two. Obama is 4cm shorter Anon says on 4/Apr/09
Ivo Sanader is 6ft 4in which would make Barack around 6ft 1.5in,Michelle (his wife)is 5ft 10in no more,still,a tall couple.Croatian guys seem to be very tall like the Dutch,there's lots of guys over 6ft in the UK too.....by the way! roger2 says on 4/Apr/09

He looks much taller than Michelle here. I've figured out why they always look the same height - she wears heels AND her hair is huge. But if you look at their eye levels, Barack looks several inches taller. Gamova says on 31/Mar/09
Michelle Obama is tall 6´0 = 1.83m but important is that she has an elegant athlete´s posture, on the other side, we find Camilla Parker-Bowles, prince Charles wife, with her Notre Dame´s Humpback. MIKESOWELL says on 29/Mar/09
Obama to me appears to be a tweener. He looks between 6-1 and 6-2. J.J. says on 27/Mar/09
i think obama deserves to get his 0.25" back when i see him i see 6'1.5" he looks like the person who is reaching 6'2" this 6'1.25" is not good enough even though it doesn't really make a difference. anything of more than 2" difference between people is noticeable Original says on 21/Mar/09
Obama looks 6'2". Joe, Brooklyn says on 18/Mar/09
I'd seen many references, early on his Obama's candidacy that he was 6' 4" (another attempt to Abe Lincoln tie-ins which worked for press mention if I'd seen it). This may have been on his official website, as well. That he'd be tied for the tallest President with Abe. But, it seems that may have been more of another campaign promise? Kevin says on 18/Mar/09
Wait,our are leaders realy that short? I've read that through american history our leaders have been rather taller than the american average. Has height descrimination come to an end? MD says on 15/Mar/09
Clinton was 6'2" during his prime, most definitely. He was taller than taller than 6'2" uncle by a tiny bit in pictures, so taking into account any lifts, I'd still say he was around 6'2" during his peak. That much I know. They have a bunch of pics, together. ali says on 15/Mar/09
george bush senior is 6'2-6'3 prime
Obama is about 6'1.25-6'1.5

Bill Clinton is clearly smaller than Obama.
Obama is clearly smaller than a old GB senior.
Bill Clinton's 6'2 estimates are complete nonsens.
6'1 at best and that's even too much. Falcon says on 14/Mar/09
Cool, I like his height and I see now that he is the same height as me (I'm 187). I thought I was too short (I would say I'm slightly below average in sweden), but this gives me peace ;) Ace says on 11/Mar/09

I've seen a few sources place him at 6'3. He looks taller then Clinton who is apparently 6'2ish. I wouldn't be surprised if both guys had a couple inches added to their official height. I'd be surprised if he's 170 though. He looks pretty skinny in those suits. I would think that he's closer to 160. 5 ft 3.5 says on 1/Mar/09

I am 6'3" and I met him at his innaguration, which I attended. He was about an inch shorter than me so 6'2" is right. The sad thing is that I didnt get a photo with him. I also read that he was 6'2" and 170 pounds, which seems about right. sam says on 21/Feb/09

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.

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. Big T says on 9/Jan/09
I saw a pic of all the living Presidents from a slightly different angle to the one Joe posted, and George Bush Snr definitely looked like the tallest Kramer says on 7/Jan/09
If George Bush the Elder used to be 6'2˝ (but may be a little shorter now due to his age) and Clinton is 6'2'' (he too might have shrunk a tad due to his age), that would make Obama about 6'1˝ at the most. Spence says on 7/Jan/09
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 Joe says on 7/Jan/09

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.

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? Anonymous says on 4/Dec/08

I think his wife is more 5'10 than 5'11. Maybe 5'10 1/2. Obama looks taller than he is cause of his lanky frame. He looked like he had about 3 inches on Bush who I think is around 5'10 now. I tend to agree that he is not bigger than 185-86 cm. Id say more 185 LINDA says on 2/Dec/08

He is 6'1'' max and probably a little under. Viper says on 23/Nov/08
Some have said that Bush looks 5-9 in person. The Horse of FUNK says on 22/Nov/08
If he's 6'0 then Bush is 5'9"... which is improbable. Viper says on 21/Nov/08
You could be right Anonymous. He could be 6-0, but I wouldnt go lower than that. Anonymous says on 21/Nov/08
I vote for 6'0/0.5 max barefoot 6'1/1.5 with dress shoes Schnouzer Breath says on 21/Nov/08
i vote for about 6 ft 0.5, 6-1 max, appeared about 2 in. taller than Bush who is 5-10 max, his wife is about same heighth and he seems dead even with her when she's in 1-inchish looking dress flats Anonymous says on 19/Nov/08
Obama is 6'1.5". johnny says on 17/Nov/08
my brother shook his hand, he said Obama is tall but his hands are very small and thin and so is his overall frame. because he is so thin and slender built he appears much taller then he actually is. according to my bro, though, he is a solid 6 ft 1 inches at best, but he's so laid back and relax he could well be one inch taller. flash_of_eden says on 13/Nov/08
i know a guy who claims to have met Barack, he says he is 6-2 himself and that Barack was much taller. i dunno how much taller he considers "much" taller, but that's what he said. however, based on that video still with Obama and Bush standing shoulder to shoulder i would give Obama a solid 6 ft 2.25 inches.

obama apears 6'2" in person, but 6'1.25" makes a solid 6'2" in Presidential shoes. Fiona says on 12/Nov/08
Michelle sure looks tall, and I thought I was tall.....at 5'10" trueheight says on 12/Nov/08
2in taller than Bush; when they were walking at times it looked only 1in but Obama seems to have such a relaxed posture. EJ says on 10/Nov/08

I say Obama is 6' flat. His thin frame, small head, and high eye-line make him look taller than his actual height. wooley85 says on 10/Nov/08
Take a look at this picture with Bush who is listed as 5'11 inches. Obama has several inches on Bush. Michelle Obama is around 5'10"

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! Vegas says on 9/Nov/08
a man in his mid 70s wearing elevators, complex you make me laugh everytime i read your posts Complex says on 8/Nov/08
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! Da Man says on 8/Nov/08

"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. Viper says on 8/Nov/08
LOL, even his people say hes 6-1. Give up the 6-2 stuff. Larry says on 8/Nov/08
President Barack Obama is 6'2'' Anonymous says on 8/Nov/08
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. EJ says on 7/Nov/08
He's not just "US Politician" anymore, he's "US President-Elect." alexthefox says on 7/Nov/08
viper dude, lets keep political opinions out of this man. its about height here. 6'1. thats my input. the shredder says on 7/Nov/08
Every Republican , Independted , Democrat with a BRAIN knows that W. Bush is the worst in history ! ... Im not going to agree with everything on both parties , but after Bush America wants something new ! McCain lost because America does not want another Bush , and he only picked Palin to get more women to vote ! ... Then on the other hand , I most say that some dumba**ses only vote Barack Obama do to race , and McCain do to race ... now this Isaw right in front of my face ! Viper says on 7/Nov/08
Every republican thinks he will be the worst ever for the most part. Northen Lights (CND) says on 6/Nov/08
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 the shredder says on 6/Nov/08

Im glad he won ! even Republicans wanted him .
HAHA, no. Derek says on 6/Nov/08
He could be in between 6'0" and 6'1", though I'd bet he's closer to 6'1". Da Man says on 6/Nov/08
Now that he's won the election and is going to bring "change" to the world, let's see how long it takes for him to get boosted up to 6'3" or so.
I'd put money on the guy being 6'0.5" Viper says on 6/Nov/08
Could he be 6-0? Sherron Jacobs says on 6/Nov/08
My sister shook Obama's hand earlier this year and said he wasn't tall, however, I saw him in Philadelphia, and noticed that he towered over the podium. So I've deduced that he is a tall individual and by your account, my assumption is correct! Complex says on 5/Nov/08
Lol, to say the least roberto, but this site is about heights, so i'm not gonna complain, lol! More than a handful could equal like 6 or 7, lol! mma fan says on 5/Nov/08
Northen Light
It has nothing to do with the wasy he dress or how much he weights or how you get mistaken for a taller person. There is video of him in youtube beside Bill Clinton and he is an inch taller that 6'1 Bil
Clinton Click Here anonymous says on 5/Nov/08
he usually looks between 6`1 and 6`2. That is the typical range. Lamarr says on 5/Nov/08
ive seen him and person and from far away the first time, he seemed tall but the 2nd time i was closer and he wasn't as tall as i thought. 6 ft. sounds right runt says on 5/Nov/08

Im glad he won ! even Republicans wanted him ... Well back on height ........ I think don't think he is 6'2 ! Ross says on 5/Nov/08
Manuel, that MSN link is absurd. There is no way on God's green Earth Obama weighs anywhere near 81kg. That is my weight, I'm 183cm, and that does not equate to a slight frame. Obama is clearly extremely slender and small, he isn't 80kg. I'd guess he's in the neighborhood of 150-160. Roberto says on 5/Nov/08
complex you must be mad Lenad says on 5/Nov/08
I'd say 6'1-6'1.5. He looks like 6'1 guy and Viper dont talk about politics talk about height Northern Lights(CND) says on 5/Nov/08
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.
One Nation. Complex says on 4/Nov/08
Welp unfortunately Obama won, so out of anger i'm going to downgrade his height, I think he's ummm.... 3'6, and he wears huge stilts to look tall. But yup, 3'6 maximum. At least on a brighter note, we have 5'10-5'11 Bush til the end of the year :) Bruce says on 3/Nov/08
Michelle Obama's brother is a 6'6" man so she is from a tall family. Obama's height on this site is believable. 6' 3" American says on 31/Oct/08
Dear Anonymous, in the greatest country in the world with the greatest celebrities in the world, politicians are celebrities! Asking a person's height is politics? Or, maybe your just mad because the heights listed weren't metric? Who made you the moderator? Or, do I detect sour grapes from a vertically challenged foreigner? Anonymous says on 30/Oct/08
Viper, please don't bring politics into this site. There are many people who use this site who aren't American (including myself) and who use this site in leisure. It's hard enough avoiding the disingenuous orchestra of an election you have running in your country without it being found on celebheights. I'm sure you can find ample websites to debate the merits of both canditates..let's not make it this one :) Viper says on 29/Oct/08
Obama 6-2 1/4 when he wakes up? LOL Ted also said the Rock is 6-3 1/2 - 6-4. Ted, what dream world are you living in?
And taller people have deep voices? hahahahhah!!! Jeremy says on 28/Oct/08
Michelle Obama looks 5'10 or 5'11. Derek says on 28/Oct/08
Ang- Michelle Obama looks 5'10"-5'11". Most believe she's 5'11". Ang says on 28/Oct/08
does anyone know how tall Michelle Obama? Ted says on 27/Oct/08
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. Da Man says on 25/Oct/08
Obama better be able to produce a U.S. Birth Certificate, because assuming he wins the election in November he might not be in office for long.
Berg v. Obama, look it up... EJ says on 24/Oct/08
Rob, after November 4, are you going to change Obama's description from "US Politician" to "US President-Elect"?
McCain is so finished. Viper says on 23/Oct/08
Socialism would kill the economy in america.
[Editor Rob: I like to try to keep this to height only.] anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
Viper are you serious? "Europeans LOVE socialism." Enough! For the umbteenth time, enough with politics! Just stick to his height.
As for the height, i have stated it several times, he is somewhere in the range of 6`1-2. wtf? says on 21/Oct/08
viper why wouldn't it? are the americans just too damn proud to get used to another system or what?
back to topic: i think 6ft1-2 sounds about right. Viper says on 21/Oct/08
Its because Europeans LOVE socialism Markus. But it wouldnt work in the good old United States. Antron says on 20/Oct/08
Viper there is no way Bill Clinton is 5'10 unless someone cut off his feet. CLinton is probably like 6'0.25" now. Used to be close to 6'2." Obama is a bit over 6'1", the site has it right. Markus says on 20/Oct/08
Viper, let me tell you something. I live in Europe, if europeans would have to vote for the US, McCain would lose BIG time.
Anyway, thought this forum is about height, not politics.
The only thing that politics and height have in common is that people lie about it ;) |
