Video Captures Confrontation with Rep. Obey

In this video, apparently made covertly on Thursday by a member of the public in violation of congressional rules, a woman and a man confront House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wisc.) in the hallway of a House office building over military spending. The woman talks about her son, a Marine, and asks Obey why he hasn’t cut off funding for the war. After a while, the man joins in their argument. Eventually, the lawmaker, leaves the discussion and shuts the door on the pursuing camera.
