There seems to be a single reference to the "natural born" issue dated 2008. From the Wikipedia link...

In August 2008, the Rocky Mountain News ran an online article asserting that Obama is both a U.S. and a Kenyan citizen.[90] This turned out to be incorrect according to FactCheck.org, which noted that Obama was indeed born a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC) under British law, by virtue of his descent from a Kenyan father at a time when Kenya was a British colony, but lost CUKC citizenship and became a Kenyan citizen when that country gained independence in 1963. However, Kenya's constitution prohibits dual citizenship in adulthood. Obama therefore automatically lost his Kenyan citizenship on his 23rd birthday, in 1984, by failing to formally renounce any non-Kenyan citizenship and swear an oath of allegiance to Kenya.[91] Although the paper apologized for the error and published a correction, the article continued to provide fuel for online rumors about Obama's eligibility for the presidency.

I'll grant that an article in the Rocky Mountain News in August, 2008 -- even though it's based on an incorrect supposition -- counts as an "audible peep".

But barely...

You seem to rely heavily on mainstream media coverage of an issue rather than the facts and evidence surrounding the issue. Strange considering your tag line: (The Mainstream Media — IGNORANCE ON PARADE)
