My guess is that Obama produced proof of citizenship long before he ran for president. Maybe somewhere around the time he
applied for a passport... or maybe when he
registered for college.
Besides, you haven't addressed the biggest howler of all. It doesn't even matter where he was born, because the requirement is "born a U.S. Citizen." Which, even if he was born on Mars, he is. Because his mother is a U.S. Citizen.
Quite honestly, there is a subtext here: a guy with a funny name and dark skin is being subjected to more rigorous scrutiny over the notion of his birth and citizenship than any other presidential candidate in history. And you don't think that's racist? I don't think you know what racism is.
