Barack Obama Jr. was both a U.S. citizen (by virtue of being born in Hawaii)

If he was that is.

If he wasn't their would be no case that despite his being born of a foreign father, he'd somehow still be Natural Born Citizen, because he wouldn't have been a citizen at all when he was born. Might still not be, unless he was naturalized along the way somewhere. But if he was, then that is disqualifier, too.

El Gato, Yes Obama would be a U.S. Citizen but not a Natural Born U. S. Citizen because the “British Nationality Act of 1948 (Part II, Section 5) automatically bestows British Citizenship, through their father, upon the children of British Citizens, no matter where they are born.
