The real issue is that regardless of where Obama was born, he was a British citizen at birth through his father as his citizenship was governed under the British Nationality Act of 1948. He admitted as much on his official Fight the Smears website.

If the US citizen at birth is a dual citizen, due to his father's citizenship.
