are you kidding me?! 5'11 and considered short?!!
of course... for a president.

Moke says on 30/Dec/09
It`s funny how all of your opinions drifting apart. 5'6?! Funny... Bush senior has been described as a "lanky guy". His nick while serving in the army - "skin"- due to his frame and being about 6'2 back then. Finally shortest son became president, which I would call interesting.

clever comments and real height.....1)Arnold,has I heard on a documentary, is high maybe 6' (and in a picture I just saw, he isn't taller than Bush more than 3 centimetres (I'm european, sorry;.)) 2) I saw a photo with both Bush, both Kasparov (the chess champion) and from the moment I met the second , I can confirm, that Bush is 180 cm.......;:_)

James S says on 26/Oct/09
When walking with President Obama outside the white house that day, walking side by side, Bush was about two and half inches shorter than Obama. So if Obama is close to 6'2, which is what is listed here as well as many other sources, then yes, Bush is 5'11. Which is a good solid height for a man.

5'11 is accurate for george, he was probably 6 foot at his peak

Bush is 5'11".

black dog says on 21/Jul/09
george w is 5 foot 10 at most. he may have peaked close to 5-11 in his early days, but he now looks about 5-9 1/2. he is clearly several inches shorter than his father.

Nathan says on 28/May/09
He is not 5'11". I personally met George W. Bush in my hometown of San Angelo in 1997, he was then Governor of Texas and we were naming a new building at my University after him or someone in the Bush family and he was there for the opening of this building. I am 5' 10.5" maybe 5'11" on a tall day, and he was DEFINITELY shorter than me. I distinctly remember looking downward while exchanging greetings and shaking his hand. I would estimate maybe 2 inches shorter, but possibly only one.

don says on 27/May/09
no way is Pres. Bush 5'11", I just watched Jay Leno, and they showed footage of him over the years with different presidential candidates and Leno next to Bush was at least one full inch taller. I didnt seen footwear but no way is Pres. Bush 5' 11"

Christian says on 17/May/09
In these clip you can see when Obama enters the studio and shakes hands with Leno and Letterman. He looks 2.5 inches taller than Leno, maybe even more and the same height as Letterman. Of course it is not the best angels but roughly I would say he is about 6'1½'', 186-187 cm.

About 5'11" means he is a solid 5'10.5" Rob, since you try to maintain accuracy on your listings i'll suggest you list him at 5'10.5"(HIS TRUE HEIGHT) It doesn't really matter if he claims 5'11" cos he is only 0.5" under

Doug says on 5/Apr/09
Yeah he does have a boyish face and always gives an illusion of being short, especially for his family where his father GB Senior is about the best example you can give of a legit 6'2". I noticed he stands taller than a lot of politicians and people at 5'11" as it is on the taller side of average but short for his family, but can't see anything more.

what's the bennefit of him wearing lifts?
he probabally wears regular dress shoes

I bet Bush is in the range 1.78cm and 1.82cm.He could be a solid 5"10 or a weak 5"11. He's in the above range. It's difficult to know for sure. He could wear lifts.

mcfan says on 26/Feb/09
I think he is 5'11 at the most. Even his father put 6'1 down on his driver's license but was always considered 6'2. Even Bill Clinton was only I believe 6'1.5 even though he said 6'2.5. Maybe they're talking in shoes?

He probably was 5'11 in his prime, but is 5'10 nowadays. Next to Obama he definitely didn't look any taller than 5'10 and they were both wearing similar dress shoes.

Ed(1) says on 21/Jan/09
Bush looked a good 3 inches shorter then Obama in the footage yesterday of them walking together side by side on the way to the Inauguration. If Bush is really 5ft11, he is one of the shortest and stockiest looking 5ft11 guys I've ever seen. If Obama is 6ft1, then Bush has got to be more like 5ft10!

Anonymous says on 14/Jan/09
When he said that he was about 5'11 he could be 5'10.75/11 in normal dress shoes, making him about 5'10 barefoot (peak) now maybe 5'9.5 with age.

He has been a regular visitor in my shop, and each time he has come in he has stayed for a long time talking to us and, given that he was likely to be (and has become) New Zealand's prime minister, I was focusing very carefully on his height.

I am 5'10 1/2" and I can tell you very confidently that John Key is in the range of 5'9 1/2" and 5'10".

Now, in one of those pics they look almost the same height, but for me in the other two Bush is an inch taller. Therefore I think Bush is either 5'11" or 5' 10 1/2". No great height scandal here I'm afraid folks.

I wish i could meet Bush and i wish i could get beat up by him and other people like Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Vladimir Putin, and so many people of the New World Order Illuminati aka the Global Elite it would be awesome and it will be a new challenge to me ppl might not understand but oh well xD

The 5'11" height sounds about right. In his younger days, he was probably an even 6-feet.

darren says on 4/Dec/08
I've met him and his father at republican conventions.
i'd say his dad is 6'2"
but he is more like 5'11.5" or 6'0"
i read in a physical he was 6'
but i also read in another one he was 5'11"
in all honesty, he looks 5'9" from far away, but up close, he looks 6'0"

Ed(1) says on 13/Nov/08
Dee that's a good question, because he comes across consistently on TV and in pictures as a 5ft9-5ft10 guy tops! Standing 5ft11 with the 1.5 inch cowboy boots he wears from time to time would put him at 6ft0.5, and at least to me he has never looked that tall! In the most recent footage of Obama and Bush walking around the White House, Obama looked to have a solid 3 inches on him, and I'd peg him at 6ft1 give or take a bit.

5ft10 sounds more accurate for Bush, maybe 5ft9.5! He has a very similar build to Matt Damon who is listed at 5ft10, but many claim is more 5ft8-5ft9!

Clay says on 13/Nov/08
Because 5'10'' is the upper end of short, not the begginign of tall....like some people at this site think.

Dee says on 13/Nov/08
Why does he seem so short?

I met the president before the 2004 election. Shook his hand and stood face to face with him. I'm 5'11" and definitely recall being surprised that he was taller. The doctor's records look accurate. (PS i looked into his eyes and saw a good man) - :)

Shoelace says on 11/Nov/08
He appears to be slightly shorter than Michelle Obama. I'm sure she had on high heels but I also imagine he was wearing cowboy boots. When you see him in pictures, he's nearly always the shortest one of the men and often appears to be shorter than the woman. I can't imagine he's much taller than 5'7"...minus the boots.

Complex says on 31/Oct/08
I love Bush first of all, so my guess on his height is not bias because I think he is shorter than 5'11, maybe 5'10 or a little over. I remember seeing a pic that had a bunch of 6'0+ politicians and Bush looking very small next to them, several inches shorter and it said "guess bush forgot his lifts that day". Might of just been a Bush-Hater making a joke who knows, but President of the US is a very powerful position, I've heard lots of them need to be seen as a strong powerful leader so they get face lifts and wear elevator shoes to help appearance, they prolly each polish their looks to the extreme, which is a good thing. Personally I think Mccain is more 5'7 max, but he's got my vote...

Jow Blow says on 26/Oct/08

Clearly just under 6 foot. Id agree with all the medical papers on him. 6'0" in the military, 5'11.75" for his first term in office and then 5'11".5" for his last medical. This would be consistent at his age and it also looks the case. Viper is just a madman.

Bush is only 2 inches taller than McCain. McCain's biographies state he is 5'7". I think he used lifts to look almost 5'9" at his debates with the much taller Romney. But it is well documented for years that he is 5'7". Bush is a strong 5'9" who occasionally uses lifts or cowboy boots to look 5'11"ish.

No, 5'11'' is not little. In the US, you would have to be less than 5'9.25'' to be considered under-average height. I seriously doubt the president looks taller than 5'10.5'' and if celebrities can put down exaggerated heights in their CVs, presidents can too.

This wouldn't be the first time this president exaggerated information.

how can you say i dont think hes 5"11" that he looks more like 5"9.75, im sorry i didnt realize by looking at a picture you could accurately distinguish the 1.25" differnce, if his physical says hes 5"11" he more than likely is just that, regardless why is anyone gonna fight about it, i simply just wanted to know for myself and found this forum where everyones making an ass of themselves

Brandon says on 28/Jan/08
Bush is really 5'11. My dad who is 6'2, met him years ago and told me that he is almost 6 feet tall.

Charliemoto says on 27/Jan/08
GWB looks quite tall in the Chervrolet image, he does look 5'11 to me.

Real says on 25/Jan/08
President Bush doesn't know how to receive a handoff.. you're supposed to raise the inside arm so that the quarterback can jam the ball into your stomach. with that aside, maybe he said little guy when referring to 5'11 because he knows that he's really around 5'9? heck 5'9 isn't even that little..

JT says on 18/Jan/08
Laura - that's a late model Chevy Suburban which has a height between ~ 6'1.5" and 6'4.5" depending on the model (2WD, 4WD, etc.). Where'd you get 5'9" from? Plus, Bush is standing behind the vehicle.

Laura says on 18/Jan/08
Here is the same photo I just posted except in better quality

Laura says on 18/Jan/08
He looks around 5'9". In this photo he is wearing Crocs and standing next to a Chevrolet SUV.

I dont think he is 5ft 11, looks more like 5ft 9.75

john says on 5/Jan/08
I say he is 5-10 1/2, he is two inches shorter ( and a bit more) than his father.

JT says on 19/Dec/07
GWB looking at least 5’11” with 6’4” Cal Ripken (Click Here), assuming Ripken is 6’5” in shoes.

Vegas says on 18/Dec/07
that photo of leak and bush is awful, its just slightly favouring leak, slightly :)

look at the dude far right dreadlocks with the "F" on his jacket he is about 6'4 but looks the same height as bush from that angle, he looks the same height as the dude next to him, now here is a better photo Click Here

leak is also wearing big a*s cowboy boots there giving him an inch easy on bush's footwear, leak is 5'11.875" tall so basically 6'2 in cowboys there, bush is 5'11.5 barefoot and probably 6'0.5" in shoes Click Here

Alex says on 18/Dec/07
If Leak was measured 5'11 3/4 likely it was in the morning so he may be really 5'11 1/4-5'11 1/2 only but the picture is favoring him but he still would have at least 1-1.5 inches on Bush. Bush is 5'10 I think.

Lynn says on 15/Dec/07
@kevint,
I disagree a little with you.
The analysis of a tons of pics shows that Bush is around 178 cm ( 5'10" ) barefeet before bed.

kevint says on 15/Dec/07
Regarding the above quote, 5' 11" is not little; it's slightly taller than average. Which Bush is not.

Barefoot, he can't be over 5' 9" at most. He should be downgraded. If the White House physicals list him as 5' 11.5", they are measuring him with his Tony Lama boots on.

old jonnie says on 15/Dec/07
bush is 5ft9(175).. (182)5ft11.5 singapore prime minister lee sian-loong stand next to bush looks a solid 7cm taller..

Socom says on 7/Dec/07
Drew Brees and Troy smith are also around 6 feet. GWB is not that close to their heights. I say he is indeed 5'9.75

drj says on 5/Dec/07
Chris Leak is 6'0" tall. GWB looks 5'9" to 5'10".

JD says on 27/Nov/07
He was probably 5'11 in his prime, 5'10.25 now.

JD says on 27/Nov/07
Well he did look 5'11 next to Gore(assuming Gore is still 6'1 and Bush wasn't wearing lifts).

riaz says on 17/Nov/07
HMMMM... Mr president looks short on tv. 5'11!! You guys positive about his height!! If thats the case... He's pretty tall. But I still am in Doubt about Bush's height....

Dan says on 11/Nov/07
There's always an over-measure for celebrities height. mabe the standard deviation is between half and 1.5 inches. and who name if they put something speacial in there shoes.

JMurdock says on 10/Nov/07
Yea, 5'11 is a bit taller than average

jack says on 3/Nov/07
i dont know why he calls himself a little guy, 5'11 is pretty big

not compared to the dutch but in general 5'11 is big

Chinkosmalldck says on 3/Nov/07
here a 5'11 Hu Jintao claimed by chinese beside Vladimir Putin i guess Jintao is wearing a lift.Click Here look at Jintao hair around 2 inch thick lolClick Here

Anonymous says on 31/Oct/07
Hehe, Hu Jintao 5'11. Run a Google search for 'alexander downer' and you'll see Jintao is shorter than Putin.
Also watch on I M D B the image with will smith and Ricky Martin. Martin is no more than 5'10. My explanation? Martin wears big lifts and Bush is not 5'11.

Lou Giraldo says on 28/Oct/07
Bush stood next to Ricky Martin during Ricky's performance back in 2001 and RM was at least 4 inches taller than GWB. Bush is about 5'9 at the most.

i think george w bush is wearing a bigger lift.President Hu Jintao is 5'11 and i think bush is about 5'9. here a pic show george bush wearing a bigger lift Click Here

Astral says on 14/Oct/07
Bush could be 5'11 3/4 laying down, which would be his height leaning on one leg. In other words, standing up bepidally, he should be 5'11 MAX.

Dave says on 8/Oct/07
hahaha! bush at 6'1-6'2 pleeease!.....

he STRUGGLES with 5'11... hes not a 6 footer, nevermind over that!.... where do people get these predictions from?!

Coffee Shop says on 19/Sep/07
dear editor Rob: i only have one more question what do you consider being the tall zone?

Coffee Shop says on 17/Sep/07
dear editor Rob,
i'm 5'11.5" just bare footed and 6'1" in my nike shox would you consider me a tall guy or kinda short in the scheme of things?

Lynn says on 14/Sep/07
@Gonzalo,
ok, sorry for my previous post.

The facts are that Bush is shorter than Blair that SURELY is 6' even, and he hes shorter than Arnold that nowdays seems MAX 5'11.5".

And he seems equal or a little shorter than Gordon Brown, 5'11" officially.

So Gonzalo let us continue to discuss using real facts.

Gonzalo says on 14/Sep/07
LYNN, I DON´T THINK BUSH IS THAT TALL. HE IS TALLER THAN 5´11 IN MY OPINION BUT NO MORE THAN 6`0

Lynn says on 13/Sep/07
@Gonzalo and Rob,

so Coffee Shop is right, President Bush is at least 6'1", maybe 6'1.5"
Click Here

Gonzalo says on 13/Sep/07
Franco, Prodi is taller than 1`68 bareffot. Camon, he doesn´t look that short. I haven´t seen him in the flesh but I have seen him next to people I actually met (for instance Javier Solana) and Prodi looks around my height or 1`74-75

Coffee Shop says on 12/Sep/07
bush is a tall guy prob 6'1" or maybe even 6'2" on a good day

dmeyer says on 27/Aug/07
you should give him peak height

bam says on 27/Aug/07
rob, do you think his annual fitness exam height of 5'11.5 is exaggerating the truth? Its just a half inch, but if bush was at one point 5'11.75 that means he was a weak 6 foot.

MD says on 31/Jul/07
Brown is simply taller than Bush. That's all there is too it, if only marginally taller.

TJ says on 31/Jul/07
Yes Rob, but if someone sees an unexpected result like that, you would think they would assume uneven ground was the reason, not leap on it as fact.

TJ says on 31/Jul/07
It's total nonsense to day Brown is 2-3 inches taller than Bush. There are pics from the summit where they look the same size, pics where Brown looks taller and pics where Bush looks taller. It depends on camera angle, who is slouching and whether the ground is even. This vid Click Here
suggests at the outset that Brown is around an inch taller, but I've seen a pic and that path isn't even. Later in the vid we see them shaking hands after the press conference (2m 48s) and walking off and, if anything, Bush looks to have the edge. In any case, talk of Brown being 2-inches taller is ridiculous.

Que says on 30/Jul/07
Hey MD excellent point, I also posted the vid on the height request page, always thought Brown was 5'11 but he looks a even 6', I've seen quite a few vids on tv of Brown walking with Blair over the last few weeks what with all the retrospectives on Blair and all and he just looks the same height, one or two times he even looked 1" taller!

He's easily taller than Bush by 2-3 inches, your photo shows that. Looks like Bush was told that Brown was shorter than Blair and therefore wouldn't need his lifts, wooops!

The serial killing chimpanzee is also short like a chimpanzee. j/k, he's prolly a 5'10.5 lift wearer. 5'11 in his prime.

MD says on 29/Jul/07
British Prime Minister is nothing more than 5'11", correct? Yet more proof Bush isn't even 5'11". I mean, you can even look at the photos of him and Prince Charles to see that.

You can tell, even with the bad angle, that Brown is taller.

Gonzalo says on 28/Jun/07
Bush father looks taller than 6`2, at least in his heyday. George W. Bush looks 5`11 minimum

RICHARD says on 28/Jun/07
His dad is 6'2 and brother is 6'3. Why isn't he in the 6' range ??? I think the 5'11 listing is accurate

Rick M. says on 18/Jun/07
I met President Bush when he was here in Springfield. I am 5.11 in shoes and he was about the same heigth as me.

Mr. R says on 14/Jun/07
Rob, I too just saw the doc "Journey With George", and he did pasue as he said "about 5-11". In the scene, Pelosi has her absentee ballot, and asks W why she should vote for him. She asks: "What are you gonna do for the little guy"? His answer: I am the little guy. I'm about...5-11. Have you noticed that Jeb is 6-3"? That word about indicates that he may not quite be 5-11.

Philip says on 12/Jun/07
Yes, Bush is about the same height as our president, 182+ cm.

Bulgarian says on 11/Jun/07
Bush is in my country Bulgaria and he was standing straight next to our president(185 cm) and prime minister(178 cm). So I garantee you that Bush is in the range 182-183 cm.

dmeyer says on 28/May/07
if he got mesured 5'11.5 wath dont you give him or maybe he got mesure in the morning i do get mesure 182 at the doctor in the morning so 5'11 might be is minimum height if he got mesured early aftrnoon ypou should give him 181 cm

MD says on 24/May/07
Which media, rollablunt? Because, because of the annual presidential health check-ups, I don't think Bush has ever been given anything over 6'0"

Anonymous says on 22/May/07
Bush is 5'8 to 5'9 barefoot and does wear lifts. Prince Charles is 5'9 (Diana was 5'10)Bush does look short on TV. No way near 5'11

rollabluntallitaftermath says on 12/May/07
Aww, the media gives him 6'1.

Tony G says on 9/May/07
I've read that Dick Cheney is 5'8". Sounds about right.

Paddington says on 6/May/07
How tall is Dick Cheney? He's officially listed at 5'10", but this sounds like an extreme crock. I'm guessing 5'7".

dmeyer says on 28/Apr/07
george might be might height 5'11.75 morning and 5'11 night

Vibram says on 24/Apr/07
He is a legit 5'10.5"(178.5), but no way 5'9", so maybe the 5'11" claimed was correct for when in his 20's and 30's. Certainly not a "little guy" like he claims; maybe he feels small 'cause his dad and recent former Presidents were giant? Compare him to Tony Blair here Click Here - there is around 1.5 inch difference (photo from May 2006).

Check out Tony Blair's page on this site....he's a certain 6ft dead!

dmeyer says on 22/Apr/07
are you sayng he could be 182 or atleast was 182cm

MD says on 22/Apr/07
Where are you a medical student?

Paddington says on 21/Apr/07
I'm a third year medical student. In my past year of clinical rotations, I have never seen an adult's height be measured, whether it's in the hospital or in a doctor's office. I think the only reason it would be done is if one complained about height loss due to osteoperosis. When you see someone's height written on a medical report, it's self-reported.

MD says on 18/Apr/07
I'm not sure what's so funny. It's been a joke every time. You can keep an incorrect quote up if you'd like, but I'll correct anyone that tries to quote it.

MD says on 17/Apr/07
Rob, you may want to add that to the quote. There is no use in having an incorrectly worded quote.

Anonymous says on 17/Apr/07
Prince Charles was 5-9.5 peak height, now he is 5-9.

MD says on 15/Apr/07
Hey, Rob. I was just watching "Journeys with George" by Alexandra Pelosi, which you quote, in bold, at the top of the page. You did get something wrong with the quote, though. The exact line was:

"Have you noticed (or something to that extent) that I'm ABOUT 5'11", my brother is 6'3"..."

Just a correction.

TheJerk says on 5/Apr/07
Ha Rob! Makes a fellow wonder... Anyway, I found the article. It is entitled "Is the president shrinking?" I just now realized that it is a politically oriented type website, however. Looks to be on the left of center. The information may still be real, who knows? If you want to read about it and more spinal variations throughout the day that most of us know about it's Click Here

TheJerk says on 5/Apr/07
Rob, I am not sure that it has been posted on this page, I'd be surprised if it hasn't been. I remember reading an article a couple months ago that stated for Bush's annual checkup he measued a 1/4 inch shorter this recent time. He must be given a current height 5-10 3/4 and a peak height of 5-11. :P Seriously though I'll try to find the article - it was an online one.

MD says on 30/Mar/07
Viper, he was actually 'measured' at 6'0" and then later at something like 5'11.5", I think. But, it's quite obvious the doctors were boosting him. They even said barefoot, but if that were the case, Bush would routinely look 6'1" or over, and he never does.

MD says on 30/Mar/07
LOL! @ Rob

No, he's not a full 5'11".

Vince says on 28/Mar/07
5-11 seems too high. I agree with what many have posted that he is 5-10.

Editor Rob says on 28/Mar/07
Are you implying the government have blatantly lied to the honest hardworking american people about Bush being 5ft 11.5! Hey, I've been in enough trouble with authority in my 20's, in my 30's I'm strictly towing the party line, so Bush stays tall at 5ft 11.
