Can you tell us what he is, in terms of what he stands for?
As for your list, I'll play along for a bit:
A portion of his heritage is Kenyan, why not claim it, with pride?
How does a tradition or fundamentalist Muslim view what Obama is?
What is wrong with a socialist agenda, if you believe in wealth rdistribution?
Don't some people see the use of drones an act of terrorism? Our military presence in foreign countries?
As President has Obama done anything to address the chronic problems born of institutional racism that has afflicted the African American community in this country?
Has Obama attempted to segregate, isolate and blame 1% to 2% of our nation's population, the "rich" in his case, through a campaign of propaganda?

I know that part of the (more 'mainstream') right-wing narrative is how thin-skinned Obama is, but I don't see it.
Instead of your narrative, I hear:
** Crazy right-wingers: OBAMA IS A MUSLIM
** Obama: Uh, no, actually I'm a Christian, and I pray every day.
** Crazy right-wingers: OBAMA IS A MUSLIM, AND WAS BORN IN KENYA
** Obama: So, uh, about this economy...
** Crazy right-wingers: OBAMA IS A MUSLIM, AND WAS BORN IN KENYA. SHOW US YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE, BOY!
** Rest of the country: Uh...I think he said he was a Christian.
** Obama: We, uh, passed this healthcare bill. I know it isn't perfect, but it's kinda ok...
** Media: 'Obama a Muslim' claims on the rise.
** Obama: So, uh, the economy is getting a little better...
** Fox News: 'Obama a Muslim? What do you think?'
** Obama: Well, I think we're going to start getting out of Iraq now...
** Slightly less-crazy right-wingers: Obama is soooo thin-skinned!
In other words, we have the crazy right-wing spouting nonsense, the slightly less crazy right-wing repeating the nonsense and then adding their own level of irrelevancy, innuendo, and projection, the mainstream media treating it as a circus, and virtually no legitimate debate.
