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.

Franklin Delano Bush

I believe Steve coined the word "Bushevelt."

David Boaz is executive vice president of the Cato Institute and coeditor of the Cato Handbook on Policy.

It wasn’t a fireside chat on the radio. No, it was different. President Bush stood in front of a church and addressed the nation by television.

But otherwise, we’re back in the days of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his big-spending, big-government New Deal. Except the New New Deal costs a lot more.
