		Obey, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, brings to the table 30 years of experience, a reputation for honesty and integrity and an ability to work in a bipartisan fashion.
		While Obey is in favor of targeted tax cuts to middle income families, Cronin wants an across the board tax cut, as proposed by Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush.

		Obey was much more critical than Lawton of Bush’s tax cut already approved, and the one still pending in Congress, after he invoked the often-quoted statement of Yogi Berra, “it’s deja vu all over again,” to compare the present situation with the one following the first Gulf War in 1991 when George Bush Sr.
		Obey said that, added to the $1.2 trillion tax cut already approved but not yet in effect, there would be a $2 trillion impact on the economy.
		Obey said he voted for the Democratic alternative, which would have provided a much smaller tax cut and would have left “money on the table,” but which still would not provide the health care that everyone is entitled to “economically and morally” but which is precluded by the total $2 trillion tax cut.

	JS Online: Obey's long service earns him a portrait on Capitol Hill
		Obey forsook the typical congressional portrait pose - a man in a suit in front of a U.S. flag - for an environmental portrait featuring people, places and things important to him.
		Obey, elected to Congress on April 1, 1969, has seen four wars, two impeachments and seven presidents and watched more than 1,000 members of the House of Representatives come and go.
		Obey earned the right to a portrait for having chaired the Appropriations Committee, where he now is the "ranking member," or top Democrat.

		Dave Obey, a Wausau Democrat, has sprinted past Republican contenders for this spot in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1969.
		Obey credits his success in elections to hard work, an up-front style and the attitude that he starts every race two points behind.

		But Obey does it, and he is remarkably effective at it.
		As the years pass, Obey seems more and more likely to go down in history with such congressional legends as Ted Kennedy, Bob Dole and John Dingell, the Detroit Democrat who is now the longest-serving member of the House.

	Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Wisconsin Representatives Dave Obey (7th) and Tammy Baldwin (2nd) announced today that the National Science Foundation has officially approved and will soon release $15 million in federal funds for the University of Wisconsin-Madison's ICECUBE neutrino detector.
		Obey and Baldwin contacted the federal science agency to speed up release of the funds, which they secured for ICECUBE in the federal budget last fall.
		Obey noted that federal support for ICECUBE was especially significant since the Bush Administration's budget had zeroed out funding for all new major science projects and held National Science Foundation funding to a one percent increase - well below the pace of inflation.

		Based on last year's energy bill, which was a wish list of corporate welfare, according to Obey, this year’s energy bill is also written for big energy companies and is full of special interest provisions.
		The oil and gas industries are getting the “massive subsidies” from taxpayers at the same time their profits are at a record high, Obey said.
		Obey also condemned a provision that would allow the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to usurp the authority of state public service commissions to site interstate electric transmission lines, making it harder for local communities to have a say in the process.
