I think George W. Bush characterized himself as a C student. Apparently someone at Yale leaked his transcript to The New Yorker for a hit piece in 1999 (when it was obvious he was going to run in 2000). He had a lot of B's on the transcript and was heavily involved in extracurricular activities of various kinds. That was before the era of grade inflation.

There is a reason why Obama is refusing to release any of the documents that presidential candidates normally release nowadays--there must be embarrassing information in them. But I don't think it means he was born in Kenya.

He isn't a "natural born citizen" but that's because his father wasn't an American citizen, not because of his place of birth.

Place of birth also is a disqualification.
