If he was born in Hawaii, then he is a natural born citizen.
Not what this guy says . . .
Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirms the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866:
" ... I find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents [plural, meaning two] not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen..."
And check out that "not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty" part. Obama's father was a foreigner, a British subject.
And, Obama admits he was a British subject for 21 years on his own campaign website. He owed allegiance to a foreign sovereign and says so himself.
Obama is a citizen of the United States, but he has never, ever, been a "natural born citizen."

I know. Keyes needs to see this stuff asap. Too bad he didn’t have this for the interview.

I concur. At best he is a “citizen of the United States” by birth assuming he was born in Hawaii. He’s falls well short of the natural allegiance required of a natural-born citizen.
