Obey Security Votes #6

The next in our series of questioning how Dave Obey could say that President Bush was the greatest security threat is to point out that Dave Obey's record proves he is no fan of ensuring we have a capable intelligence community. On July 9, 2004, Obey even voted against an amendment expressing the sense of Congress that-- (1) the intelligence community should be revitalized by investing in the missions, people, and capabilities of the community; and (2) the efforts of the men and women of the intelligence community should be recognized and commended. (Roll Call 293)

This isn't Dave Obey's worst vote when it comes to our intelligence, but we think it sets the stage for a couple more votes we will highlight (including a vote that is absolutely inexplicable).
