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.

Hypocrisy in Action?

From The Heritage Foundation:

Opponents of Social Security reform have made much of President Bush's 1978 statement, when he was running for a House seat, that Social Security would "go bust in 10 years unless there are some changes." As it turns out, Bush was right; that's why the Greenspan Commission's reform package was so urgent.
