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.
"Our foreign policy has made a wreck of this planet. I'm always in Africa. That's my business; I move among the poor. And when I move into these places, I see American policy written on the walls of oppression everywhere."
Harry Belafonte
