In a recent Oshkosh Northwestern article, Dave Obey opines on being a Freshman member of Congress.

To be sure, it will take time for members of the freshman class to find their place in Congress, said Dave Obey, the third longest serving member in the House.

"For the first three years that I was in the Congress, I thought I had made a big mistake," said the Wausau Democrat.

First, we're impressed that Obey can remember back that far.

Second, we wish Obey would have followed his gut and realize that for the future of America, someone with his values should indeed not be serving in Congress.
