For anyone who actually cares about their own US citizenship and the citizens of any country where such a thing is respected, there simply is no other conclusion.

Well, the Supreme Court has reached another conclusion but ...
You're giving me a non-responsive answer. I understand what you're saying. You believe where Obama was born is irrelevant for the purposes of his citizenship status. What I don't understand is how you feel Obama's father's lack of U.S. citizenship impacts his right to be President.
Let me narrow it down for you:
1) What do you believe is required for a person to be born a U.S. citizen?
2) Is there anything besides citizenship, based upon your understanding of the Constitution, required to hold the presidency?
