By his own admission..and the laws existing at that time....
Obama could be a citizen but he IS NOT a natural born citizen because his father (by Obama's own admission) was a Kenyan national. He is therefore ineligible to be President of the United States because he had only one parent who was a U.S. citizen. It takes two.
Just to keep people updated :

I will be releasing a video in August (yes, 2009) which entails information about the birth place of US President Barack Obama. This video will include footage of US President Barack Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate. You’ll see the birth certificate close up and from different angles. You’ll be able to distinguish and make out the embossed (or raised) seal on the certificate. Among the names on the certificate is a doctor that was present at the birth.
I do apologize for the lengthy delay. However, Obama has kept us waiting longer. He’s kept us waiting for several months now. There is no logical reason for the President not to release his original birth certificate.

The citizenship of “our president’s” parents is one factor in meeting the constitutional requirement. British common law regarding natural born citizenship at the time of the Constitution’s drafting, required parents to be citizens of the country. Don has highlighted the disqualifying issue — which was posted on “our president’s” campaign web page, that he had British, then Kenyan, citizenship from his father.
A second factor is whether “our president” obtained American citizenship at the time of his birth. Others have noted that his mother, per the laws at the time of his birth, could not have imparted American citizenship. Only birth in the US states or territories would provide American citizenship at the time of his birth. Documentation, produced at the time of his birth, such as the “long form” with details of the site of his birth or concurrent hospital records, would document this.
The third and final factor would be if he ever renounced, either formally or by his actions, the American citizenship he may have from his birth. The adoption as a minor provided him a potential Indonesian citizenship, but this was not a voluntary action by “our president”. Records, now sealed by various government and private organizations, would document if “our president” renounced his birthright as an American by declaring he was a foreigner attending college or by using a foreign passport in his travels outside the US.
I proudly remain a “birther” and pray each day that this overlooking/abandoning the Constitution will not stand.

Not natural born, but depending on where born, perhaps a citizen. If truly born in Hawaii or anywhere else in the US, then a citizen, because all persons born in the US are citizens, via the 14th amendment. Since his father was not a citizen, probably not a natural born citizen.
OTOH, if born outside the US, not a citizen at all, unless later naturalized.
