His mother Ann Dunham, divorced Obama's birth father sometime around 1963-4.
Ann then moved to Indonesia sometime between 1966 and 1967, and married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Young Barack was officially adopted by Lolo, and has records in the Indonesian school system with his name listed as "Soetoro".
In Obama's 2006 book "The Audacity of Hope" he discusses living and attending school in Indonesia from 1967-1971. Obama living in and attending school in Indonesia as a child is NOT up for debate--it is a well-established fact that he admits to himself in his books.
If you don't even know that part, then I see little point in even discussing ANY issues regarding current US politics with you, to be honest. You REALLY need to get out more...
Depends on whether or not he renewed his Indonesian Passport before he entered Occidental college, in order to secure "foreign student scholarships". If he did, that would mean he renounced his US citizenship, because at that time, the US and Indonesia did not have a "dual citizenship" agreement...
But we'll probably never know, because he has spent nearly $1million to defend against lawsuits to get the records of his past, and has finagled court orders to seal most of his records...
I am not taking sides on this issue but I gotta ask. Did he do the following as required by law?
A person wishing to renounce his or her U.S. citizenship must voluntarily and with intent to relinquish U.S. citizenship:
1. appear in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer,
2. in a foreign country (normally at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate); and
3. sign an oath of renunciation
Renunciations that do not meet the conditions described above have no legal effect. Because of the provisions of section 349(a)(5), Americans cannot effectively renounce their citizenship by mail, through an agent, or while in the United States. In fact, U.S. courts have held certain attempts to renounce U.S. citizenship to be ineffective on a variety of grounds, as discussed below.
There is also this:
F. RENUNCIATION FOR MINOR CHILDREN
Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.

I guess from what I understand it is extremely hard for an american to give up citizenship. If it can be proven I'll go with it. Otherwise I am not going to worry about it too much. Can't magically undo everything he has done while in office. He was sworn in and no one stopped em from taking office over the issue. Not much I can do or say will have any effect. Too be honest I am more worried about the other idiots up there in washington that we do know are citizens.
