How not to ask about the Obama citizenship issue (Mike Castle assumes Obama is a citizen)

Drudge is linking to this video of a townhall meeting in Delaware featuring Republican congressman Mike Castle. The "lady in red" launches into nothing more than a rant about the Obama citizenship issue and then states that Obama is a citizen of Kenya. Castle responds by saying he's a U.S. citizen.

They're both wrong in similar ways: while there's a very strong possibility that Obama is a U.S. citizen, no definitive proof has so far been offered. If Castle has definitive proof that he's obtained as part of his job, then he should provide the details.

After that exchange, the lady in red encourages the audience to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. In other words, little was gained: they just put on a show.

The smarter thing to do is to avoid rants and instead ask detailed questions relating to the facts discussed at the third link above.
