Obama Mystery Theater: A Curious Child

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (right) with his friend Scott Inoue. This photo was said to be taken in December 1969, at Noelani Elementary School in Hawaii, when little Barry was supposed to be (according to the official story) in school in Indonesia.

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (right) with his adoptive father, Lolo Soetoro, his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro, and his half-sister Maya Soetoro, circa late summer/early autumn 1970, taken in Indonesia.

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (right) with his half-sister Maya and her nanny, circa autumn 1970.

On the left is a photo of Barack Obama, taken at the airport in Hawaii in December, 1971, during a month-long visit with his father. That was the only time that Obama met his father. On the right is another photo of  Barack Obama, taken during his father’s visit  in Dec. 1971.

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (right) with his grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, his mother, and his half-sister Maya, taken in Hawaii, circa 1972.

Above is a picture of Barack Obama (center) with his mother, half-sister, and grandfather, taken in Hawaii. This is the infamous photo that inexplicably shows Stanley Ann with what looks like a black man’s right hand, circa 1972.

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (center) at a Punahou school event in Hawaii, in 1972.

Above is a photo of Barry Obama (back row, second from left) in class at Punahou, circa 1972.

Above is a photo of Barack Obama (front, right) with the family of his adoptive father, Lolo Soetoro.  The elderly lady is Lolo’s mother.

Where does this slim child with the wide nose fit in? From the earliest reports, Barack Obama’s classmates and teachers in Indonesia said that he was “chubby” (in third grade, age 8) and “fat” (in fourth grade, age 9).  Even when he was only 5, a teacher in Hawaii described Barry as a “heavy build” boy.

That description seems to fit the child in all of the above photos, except perhaps for the first photo, which allegedly shows Obama in third grade in Hawaii not Indonesia, and the last photo, which is difficult to place in time, but which was taken in Indonesia.

A curious child, indeed.

Update:  alfy pointed out this curiosity.  Explain it if you can:

Whose foot is that and is the person a contortionist?
