In this interesting and short article it compared whether or not Barack Obama is too thin for most Americans to relate to him. In this article it contained many interesting facts about past presidents. Such as that Republican President Abraham Lincoln was the tallest President at 6’4”. Through this article it showed that usually the taller running President wins, yet most likely this has about no real basis on who will be a President. This would also be a logical fallacy. “Mostly false cause” More interesting facts were that the heavier Presidents usually win also. The shortest President was James Madison stood only 5’4” tall. This article most likely has very little influence on the over all outcome of the elections yet were none the less interesting. Overall it actually seems that Presidential runner Barack Obama actually is very close to the average height of the presidents.
