Actually, that document you are quoting is a paraphrase, and incorrect as well. Here is the real portion covering this scenario:
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person
(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or
(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date;

That more complete statement still applies to Obama and his parents, as far as I can tell. What reasons are there for thinking otherwise?
Why would the CERTIFICATE NUMBER be blacked out?
What is he trying to hide?
Why would an unnamed source “release” this to the Daily Kos?
We are being scammed here.
I think you may be rigth regarding the citizenship thing. I don’t think Obama would be eligible if he were born overseas.
See from Wikipedia:
Through birth abroad to one United States citizen
For persons born on or after November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:
One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born;
The citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before his or her child’s birth; and
At least 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday.
A person’s record of birth abroad, if registered with a U.S. consulate or embassy, is proof of his or her citizenship. Such a person may also apply for a passport or a Certificate of Citizenship to have a record of his or her citizenship. Such documentation is often useful to prove citizenship in lieu of the availability of an American birth certificate.
Different rules apply for persons born abroad to one U.S. citizen before November 14, 1986. United States law on this subject changed multiple times throughout the twentieth century, and the law as it existed at the time of the individual’s birth controls.
