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.

Reagan, Bush, and Taxes

Andrew E. Busch, a Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College and an Adjunct Fellow of the Ashbrook Center, opines:
