Once again, the issue is not that he was or was not born in Hawaii, the issue is that his father was Kenyan and a British citizen under the British Nationality Act,.

NO, the issue is all the other attempt to prove the same thing have failed, so you
are trying to find another theory to bridge that failure.

Maybe its just that he was born an American citizen on American soil.
Thus he is a natural born citizen.
As the judge states.

You may add The Boston Globe to the growing list of influential media sources who have expressed the opinion that simply being born in the United States does not qualify one to be President. Recently, this blog pointed to a similar opinion in the New York Tribune. These pre-dated Breckenridge Long’s similar opinion as stated in the Chicago Legal News.
Recently, one of my readers uncovered this crucially relevant article published in the Boston Globe on November 9, 1896 by Percy A. Bridgham, aka “The People’s Lawyer“. (Mr. Bridgham’s book, One Thousand Legal Questions Answered by the “People’s Lawyer” of the Boston Daily Globe, can be found in the Harvard Law School library.)
The People’s Lawyer, upon answering a reader’s question regarding the Constitution’s natural born citizen clause, stated:
“The fact that the Constitution says “natural” instead of native shows to my mind that the distinction was thought of and probably discussed. A natural born citizen would be one who by nature, that is by inheritance, so to speak, was a citizen, as distinguished from one who was by nativity or locality of birth a citizen. A child born to Irish parents in Ireland cannot become a citizen except by naturalization, while his brother born in the United States is a native born citizen; the former is neither naturally nor by nativity a citizen, the latter is not naturally, but natively a citizen.”
It’s important to note that, while this article was written two years before the controversial decision in Wong Kim Ark, Bridgham adopts a similar conclusion as Justice Gray did in that case by stating that children born of aliens on US soil are citizens. But Bridgham also states that while these children are “native born” citizens, they are not “natural born” citizens and therefore cannot be President.

No, there have been several different arguments on this. One is that he was not born in H, that he was born in Kenya, and the other is that it matters not where he was born, only that his father cannot confer citizenship status. There is still a difference between native born and natural born.

You still don't understand the difference. Natural born means that both parents are US citizens. Obama's father was definitely not a citizen.

You are wrong. I understand fully.
There have been challenges and decisions on specific cases to determine Natural Born Citizen.
There is No Way the top ruling body US Supreme Court of our government is going to rule Obama ineligible. Obama is officially born in Hawaii. He is a Natural Born Citizen.
Where his father was born would never stand up to this challenge. The only way it might affect Obama's Natural Born Status - - is if his father was an official foreign diplomat at the time of his birth.

There is no psychology to this. Please refer to my previous post.

No, look at the psychology of it, that is the REAL motive and the extent of the outcome...
Obama was born on American soil, he is an American

Obama Sr's status as a British citizen under British jurisdiction does have something to do with this.

The Congressional Research Service has stated that the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship "at birth" or "by birth," including any child born "in" the United States (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements

"The citizens of each state constituted the citizens of the United States when the Constitution was adopted. The rights which appertained to them as citizens of those respective commonwealths, accompanied them in the formation of the great, compound commonwealth which ensued. They became citizens of the latter, without ceasing to be citizens of the former, and he who was subsequently born a citizen of a state, became at the moment of his birth a citizen of the United States. Therefore every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity."
