To me, to be eligible, Obama needs that Birth Certificate to prove that his father is not Barack Obama Sr.

That would not do it - legally.
Legally, his birth father of record is BHO. Nothing can easily or directly change that. The formal divorce between BHO and SAD established the LEGAL ‘fact’ that BHO is the birth father. ‘Best case’ for Obama might be an authentic Hawaiian BC with no father at all. But that would itself create a eligibility issue since father-less children have not been considered ‘natural born’.
Unwinding the legal declarations of the divorce would create a another thread of issues. There is no elegant unraveling here.
Even if there really is an official "long-form" birth certificate proving The Won was actually born in Hawaii, there is something on that piece of paper that would be absolutely catastrophic to him if it got into the public domain.
Further, even if he actually was born an American, he certainly wasn't raised as one.

BO does not see us as his brother and sister Americans, but as the enemy imperialist benefactors of the world we dominate.
He is a Third Worlder at his core, and that is where his sympathies lie.
