I don't think it's appropriate to include a whole paragraph about a YouTube video in a brief article about a person who's been in Congress for 38 years, especially when all that the video shows is basically a war of words with random activists. I watched the video and it hardly seems like a big deal in the scheme of Obey's career, and it apparently has very few electoral or political ramifications. Is that really more important than everything else he's done in almost four decades in Congress? I say that the paragraph just be removed or replaced with something more substantive about his stance on the Iraq and Vietnam wars.
