Wow, Obama looks a lot like his grandpa now that he's older.
I would have mistaken FDR for a little girl if shown this picture in other circumstances...fashions/times sure have changed since then :]
Neat pictures!

RE: The Good Citizen You are not a god citizen - you're an a. These images of children whgo grew up to become Presidents of the United States were just kids at the time and were enjoying the joyful benefits of being kids. It is so sad that you would use this forum to spew your crap to smear people who do not agree with your arrogant perspectives. This makes you a typical jerk.

the FDR photo reflects the style at the time. Boys and girls both wore dresses until boys were old enough for short pants, usually about five or six when they were switched over. It was for ease of potty training at first then just easier to keep them in skirts until playing rough and tumble games later. There are differences in the fabric, styling and trim between boys and girls outfits at the time, a good costume historian could provide examples if desired. (from an reenactor)
