Hello, Joe (whoever you are)

You should know that on Valentine’s Day it is not good form for CEOs or anyone else to fact-check their wives.

Nevertheless, I will call your attention to the website of the US Senate itself, which tells us that on H.R. 2082 (Intelligence Authorization Act) there were four abstainers:

Not Voting – 4
Clinton (D-NY)
Graham (R-SC)
McCaskill (D-MO)
Obama (D-IL)

So my wife was correct. To save you the effort, here’s the link:

Happy Valentine’s Day!
