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.

By all means. Let's just completely ignore the constitutional aspects of this and argue it on the grounds of political and bureaucratic expediency. Government think-tanks make me nauseous.
