Barack Obama is not particularly tall. He’s only about 6 inches taller than Muscat.

Maybe they took the hop-on, hop-off open top tour of DC and he forgot to take the essential factor 30.

Mhux tad-dahk ukoll.

[Daphne – They are tall, yes, but not especially so. The Muscats are short. Michelle particularly so, given that even in high heels she’s shorter than her squat husband. The Obamas are long-limbed, which always makes people look taller than they really are.]

Doesn’t look like he had much time for posing.
