how did he go from being a 'chubby' little guy to the 'string bean' he is today? I think these prove it's not the same guy. (cue the birthers).

They remind me of my son. Two years ago, he was chubby like that and probably was then the age Obama is pictured there.

Now, he's shot up six inches and looks like a string bean.

I think its normal for that age. I was chubby at that same age. I lost a ton of weight, but did not "shoot up." I pretty much stayed a tiny fairy. LOL.

When I was 14, I was 6' 2" tall and weighed 150 lb. I stayed at 150 until my mid 30s. Now, I'm 5' 11" and weigh 185 lb. I'm not sure why I had to lose three inches and gain weight, but I'm almost 67, so that may be it, I suppose.

Hawaii is such a wonderful place. I think that one of little Barry in the lifeguard stand is by the Royal Hawaiian.

And another one (with his mom and grandmother) looks like his mom's graduation at the University of Hawaii.

I made the mistake of reading the comments from that link. I just can't get used to the racists and what they say.

No bully was he!

(Now let's see Willard's pictures growing up. Especially the ones from his bullying days, if they still exist.)
