ELI5: Even if Barrack Obama really was born in Kenya, wouldn't the Natural-born-citizen clause still make him a natural born U.S. citizen?

I am constantly hearing that Barrack Obama is an illegal alien, a foreigner, and whatnot.

I was looking at the presidential requirements, and they say:
As directed by the Constitution, a presidential candidate must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and 35 years of age or older. These requirements do not prohibit a woman from being president, yet this has yet to occur.

It says "natural born citizen of the United States". 

Then I was looking at the Natural-born-citizen clause, and it says:
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth," either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.

It says "by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents". Barrack Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, was Born in Kansas and has been a U.S. citizen her entire life. By that clause, she could have given birth to Barrack Obama anywhere, and he'd still be a natural born U.S. citizen.

So why would him being born in Kenya change anything?

It wouldn't, you are correct. This is one reason among several why the entire argument is a ridiculous distraction. However, government loves ridiculous distractions.
