Was Barack Obama's father a US citizen?

No, Barack Obama's father, Barack Obama Sr., was of Kenyan citizenship when the President was born. His father was in the United States to study as a foreign exchange student, where he met the President's mother. The President's mother was a natural born US citizen from Kansas. President Obama could not have been a natural born citizen because in the Constitution (article 2 section 1) it requires both parents to be US citizens: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Because Barack Obama Sr. was not a US citizen the current president is effectively breaking the law stated in the constitution.
