Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

One day, when the historical scholarship has been written, we will see that President Carter will stand as a wise, positively progessive, and humane President. Remember, his failure to react to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan allowed for the begining of financial mismanagement by the Soviets -coupled with the resistance by the Taliband - which initiated the demise of the Evil Empire. In addition, history will prove that the relinquishment of the Panama Canal was the morally right thing to do and we have not suffered one bit for his courageous move. Third, President Carter reminded us 30 years ago of our need to find alternative energy sources and for the importance of conservation. Moreover, Carter ushered in an era of positive diplomacy with Africa and Latin America. Indeed, he had his failings and his detractors are right to point them out. Yet, can we all agree that Carter was a fine steward of the White House? He should be a darling of the religous right. I suppose he challenged some Christians (in terms of raising issues like human rights and public health)in ways that made them uncomfortable. At the same time, he reminded us that the tenets of Christianity can be complex -but that they are sacrificial, benevolent, and compassionate -and can contradict with rugged capitalism and some brands of religous fundamentalism.
Come on Andy,you sat in front of the man as he taught Sunday school. Didn't the decency of this President radiate from his being-?
