[Mr. K]

Where was that said? Was it in court transcript?

One would think it’s in a transcript somewhere as it was definitely the reason given in one of the court cases.

Supposedly it happened in Hollister v. Soetoro
I'll see what i can find. In the mean time...

VI. The central natural born citizen issue
With these two points addressed we turn now to the central issue of whether the respondent Obama is a “natural born citizen” within the meaning of Art. II, Sec. 1, Cl. 5 of the Constitution. If the plaintiff Hollister could have shown that the respondent Obama does not meet that eligibility requirement under any set of facts he could prove in support of his claim that the respondent Obama does not meet that requirement then the Rule 12(b) (6) dismissal was an error of fundamental importance to the entire rule of law in this country. If proven true those allegations mean that every command by the respondent Obama and, indeed, every appointment by the respondent Obama, including the appointment of the members of this and every other court may be only de facto but not de jure. Further his signature on every law passed while he occupies the Oval Office is not valid if he is not constitutionally eligible to occupy that office de jure. Thus it is not hyperbole to state that the entire rule of law based on the Constitution is at issue
Moreover, it would indicate that the respondent Obama ran for the office of President knowing that his eligibility was at the very least in question
There are two factors that are at issue if the allegations of the complaint are taken as true in relation to the “natural born citizen” eligibility requirement. The first is the location where the person was born. Was it in the United States? The second factor is was the birth in the United States to two parents both of whom were citizens of the United States? The district court was required to examine both of these factors but chose to avoid examining either.

Until I find something more, there's a lot there.

Hollister vs Soetoro, US District Judge James Robertson, March 5, 2009, Philip Berg, Hemenway, Obama not eligible, Col Hollister, Barry Soetoro, Judicial, Judge Robertson Memorandum, Air Force colonel, Obama not natural born citizen
In these motions, Obama’s lawyers argued that revealing the information (birth certificate, citizenship in other countries, college admissions records etc.) would “cause a defined and serious injury” to Obama and/or the DNC. They argued that revealing these documents raises a “legitimate privacy concern” and the above mentioned risk that “particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation.” The source of that embarrassment was not specified.
