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.

RE: The Right to Life

Steve Brenneis writes:

Bush was on Fox News this morning saying that he would not exercise powers he felt to be outside his scope. In other words, he is afraid. Yet another member of the Bush family bows to political pressure and proves he is no bigger than the institution.

He can still do the right thing. He can still act. If he chooses not to, then we can only hope this decade will see the end of the prominence of the Bush family in American politics.
