@MS The fact is most people in society simply go by the heights they get at the doctor. Unlike many on this site perhaps very few people have measured themselves at multiple times of day. The average person who is measured at let's say 6.075" would likely refer to themselves as 6'1'' or near 6'1".
6'3 guy said on 31/Aug/12
I think obamas height is 184, don't consider him tall. For me tall is 6'3 and further up.
MS said on 6/Aug/12
I'm with 5'11.5" (182) as a lower minimum, and maybe even as low as 5'11.25" (181 cm) right before bed is not impossible. That physical that lists him at 185 cm (6.075") was most likely a morning measurement standing military straight. I'm 181-182 cm for most of the day but can reach 185-186 cm range standing at my absolute best posture in the morning.
Also, he wears massive dress shoes most of the time that comfortably put him in the 187-188cm which would be the heel advantage of most legit 185 cm guys in most regular shoes.
MD said on 2/Aug/12
I've seen that picture of Obama and Reinfeldt before, and it's crazy anyone thinks that they can tell anything from the angle of that photo. I've seen official, front-facing photos on the American State Department's flickr page with almost all the world leaders where they are practically the same height. The difference is negiligble.
avi said on 31/Jul/12
@Nick says on 13/Jun/12
Reinfeldt has an advantage there but yes there probably is around .5 or .75 difference. whats funny is he has a german name...Wonder if his father is german and mother is swedish...anyway he didnt lose height at 46.
SoMe guy said on 25/Jul/12
Exactly the same height as jimmy fallon on his music special
Nick said on 13/Jun/12
6'1 for Obama seems legit. Here's a picture I've recently found of him with the Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt (6'2 feet tall).

He was estimated at 6'1" by my family when they meet him and looked it in the photos they took
Mark said on 28/Dec/11
I think he might be a bit under 6'1", the reasoning behind my estimate is when he met with David Cameron, the two men largely stood shoulder to shoulder in similar footwear, David Cameron is 184 cm or 6' 0.5" tall, a lot of me with this measurements call themselves 6'1". Its likely Obama will compete against Mitt Romney who is 6'2" but looks even taller, Romney towers over Ron Paul who is 5'11".

barack is taller than 185 cm, 6.1 was downgraded him to the minimum measure on medical list.
he rarely stood straight.
today he 4-5 cm shorter than 194cm actor harry lennix, next to jens stoltenberg 187cm, altough his head slightly bends to the side, he looks like the same height to jens stoltenbergs upper hair and he never looks shorter to prince william and any other 6.3 height.
conclusion:
today, barrack's fair heights around 190-191 cm and his youth height listed 194cm.
rob89 said on 2/Nov/11
Obama looks very close in height to Stoltenberg there iRack, take away Stoltenbergs hair and he just edges Obama, plus Obama is slightly leaning his head to the side as well. I'm Norwegian myself, and 187 cm sounds about right for Stoltenberg, that's roughly how tall i thought he was. He's certainly nothing under 6'1", and as we can see in your photo he's barely taller than Obama. I used to believe Obama was more of a strong 6' guy than 6'1", but after seeing this pic i definitely think 6'1" is fair for him, and if not then very close to it at least. Around the 185 cm mark for sure.

Also, search on Google Images- (Barack and Michelle Obama kiss). She is an inch shorter than 6'1" Barack. It's obvious. Not sure where these websites are getting 5'9", 5'10", and 5'11".

No one knows because he has never been seen barefoot. But if his height is as false as his promises he is probably about 5' 10".
Rusty said on 26/Jun/11
To be honest, his height has always said 6'1" and his weight has been listed in multiple places at 160, 165, and 180. Either way he is a thin man. You can tell by looking at his wrists and ankles.
Mark said on 20/Jun/11
Obama is 6'1" tall, if you do not believe me, his White House medical report states his height and weight as being 6-1 and 180lbs., no more and no less, that is very light for man over 6 feet and skinny men can carry the illusion of being much taller. If he only appeared an inch shorter than William, I would guess he is wearing shoes with heels that add to his height or William is really 6-2.
Max said on 17/Jun/11
Obama looks only an inch shorter than Prince William when they met, so he's gotta be 6'2" (188cm) easy!
Demiere said on 16/Jun/11
I think Barack Obama is around the height of Arnold Schwarzenegger about 6'2 or 6'2.5. Michelle is 5'11.5 almost the height of the average man. I have to admit that Michelle LaVaughn Robinson comes from a tall family because she's 5'11.5, her brother Craig is 6'6, their father was 6'1.5.

Michelle Obama 5'10.75" to 5'11"
Prince Charles 5'9" (Present height)

William is clearly taller, no doubt, but I think it also finally proves that Obama is at least what he's currently listed. This is one of the few times where I think someone is pretty spot-on honest about their height.

Regarding the shot with Prince William posted by biggie below - the photo is clearly taken using wide angle lens setting. I'm an amateur photographer and this type of lens has a dramatic effect on size appearances when people are only even slightly different distances from camera.

Rob do you think 184cm is possible for Obama today? He looks the same height as David Cameron to me. he is 49 so he might have lost a fraction of height so....

today 6'0.5 (184cm)

Lol... African-Americans are, on average, slightly shorter than white Americans. They're not short, but they're not giants either. Everyone in my family, including the grandparents and great uncles, is 95th percentile in height (average of 5'9" women and 6'2.5" men), but I was anorexic growing up and only ended up 6'3"; sister's a hair under 6', so imagine how tall I could have been? And we're white. I think blacks and whites generally have the same genetic potential for size.

Whoever said that Africans aren't tall is nothing but a liar! Since I came to the US, with my family, we realized that Americans aren't tall as stereotyped. I'm 190cm,my younger brothers are respectively 186cm,197cm,184cm, my father(176cm). So our average height is above that of the average US males (176/177cm)lol! My father is over 65yrs, so he was tall for his generation. So think, Africans are usually tall, but due to malnutrition lower class people don't reach their maxima growth in height.Dikembe Mutombo is short, right? Is Benga, Ithaca, Olajuwon short? My ethnic group is the same as of Dikembe.

I'm no Obama fan, but the point you bring up doesn't really speak against his height. Most girls have their growth spurts earlier than boys - usually between 11 and 13. This is why you always see those funny middle school dances with tall girls and short boys. Then in late middle school through high school, the boys catch up and surpass the girls. Obama's eldest daughter could easily have hit her growth spurt (and hence most of her adult height) at 12. Lastly, she's probably wearing heels most of the time she's in front of the camera, which would add more to her height.

There is no way Kobe is 6'4", if he was, Obama would be 5'11". The guy to Obama's right is Shannon Brown, who is listed at 6'4" (a big joke) but is really about 6'1". So Kobe is 6'6", Obama is 6'1", Shannon is 6'1". Draw your own conclusions.

Kobe's never been listed at 6'5. He's 6'6.
Rip Hamilton is 6'5, and Kobe's clearly an inch or two taller.

Bill O'reily I think in his 20's defenintly stood at 194-195cm. 193cm solid today.
lillo thomas well maybe in the US its different but here in England 6'1 defenintly does stand out as being legitly tall.
Pamco said on 1/Dec/10
And he looked 2 cm shorter than the Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt who's 185.
Pamco said on 1/Dec/10
Obama should be downgraded to 183-184 cm.
Quoting myself:
i would pin obamas height down to 183-184, he looks 10 cm shorter than O'reilly who's 193 cm. Looks 10 cm taller than Mccain who is 173

Nope In the USA 6-1 guys doesn't stand out .

I disagree in the UK and the US you will standout tall at 6'1. In the US and UK 6'1 is considered to be the start of 'standout' tall.
lillo thomas said on 27/Nov/10
6-1 is really tall (standout tall) in Asia , 5-6 inches taller . Is really tall in latin America too about 5 inches taller than average . In Africa too . In USA where the average height is between 5-9 and 5-10 6-1 is more in the above average range . To standout in USA guys must be around 6-3 .

Clinton and Obama are the same height. Both 185-186cm.
Anonymous said 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 said 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 said 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 said on 20/May/09
Phil, no offense, but you're an idiot. There simply isn't a more fitting term.

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".

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. said 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".
And 'Anon' Craig Robinson Michelle's brother is 6'6" he played in Manchester, UK

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.

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 said on 15/Apr/09
189cm is laughable. 186cm is about right. Clinton is around 185cm-186cm,

@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?

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. said 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 said 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 said on 6/Apr/09

Joe, Brooklyn said 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?

MD said 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.
