appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Soetoro highlights his ear, saying it doesn\u2019t look quite right.<\/p>\n<p>The narrator also claims the 55-year-old\u2019s chin is far too pointy.<\/p>\n<p>And he says there are lines near his nose which suggest the image was \u201cheavily doctored\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Soetoro claims the pictures are evidence that Obama is using a body double for public appearances.<\/p>\n<p>But he offers no explanation as to why the former president would want to use a stand-in for a quiet family dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Or indeed why he would start using a double now
