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.
We never said it was about CHEAP oil.

So we invaded Iraq so that oil would be more expensive?
Let's see. Expensive oil is likely to sink whichever political party is in power, especially so with the occupant of the White House.
Also, expensive oil tends to suppress consumption, something the left has wanted to happen for quite some time.
So, the left is unhappy about Iraq because it will probably end up removing the Republicans from power and because it will accomplish something the left has been trying to do for years. Furthermore, it is the contention of the left that Bush/Rove did this on purpose. What am I missing here? I'm no fan of George Bush, but I suspect he and Karl Rove are just a wee bit smarter than that.
