The real work of the Metro Council takes place in committee. Here is a hearing of the Budget and Finance Committee, the most important of the Council's committees.
A New York Times front page story today called “The Competitor in Chief — Obama Plays To Win, In Politics and Everything Else” is devastating. This is a story from a very liberal, very friendly news organization and yet it is very critical of Obama's executive leadership. The piece makes these two points:
1. He vastly overrates his capabilities. Even those loyal to Obama say that his quest for excellence can bleed into cockiness and that he tends to overestimate his capabilities. The nature of the White House, surrounded by people always telling you how great you are, amplifies those tendencies.
2. He spends extraordinary amounts of time and energy in consequential pursuits. From Golf (104 golf outings since taking office) to bowling to cards he is very competitive and spends a lot of time doing stuff unrelated to running the county. He has a "fixation on prowess."
Even if Obama’s agenda was not an issue, Mr. Obama would not be suited for the job of President. He needs to be fired. Please read the above story.

The new September 4, 2012 Metro Council meeting agenda is now available. You can find the agenda at the link: Metro Council Agenda. There is not much of interest on the agenda this time. I would not expect any fireworks.
From the agenda you can link to the analysis. Council meetings can be really,
really boring if you don't know what the Council is voting on. With an
agenda and analysis, they are just really boring. I read the analysis and agenda for you so you don't have to. Below are
the things that I think are worth being aware of that are on this
agenda.
There is a public hearing of a bill on the Agenda that would amend the backyard chicken bill (ORDINANCE NO. BL2012-228). Don't be alarmed. All it would do is allow would allow hens to be kept on school property for educational purposes without any limitation as to number.
There are nine other bills on public hearing, but they should concern no one except those in the immediate vicinity of the proposed rezoning.
There are eleven ordinances on the consent agenda. None of them are controversial.
