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.

Listening for Comprehension

OK. I watched the clip and what I heard him say was this: It would be morally wrong to abort all black children, but it's too bad we couldn't do it because it would certainly decrease the crime rate in this country.

If you got that out of what he said, then you didn't listen to what he said. Try again. This time clear your mind of Nancy Pelosi's prejudice. She's an idiot and you're not.

Why is it so difficult to admit that poverty is the real problem.

Poverty is the real problem behind what? Abortion? That's what the topic was. Do you want to assert that only poor people have abortions? That is absolutely untrue. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of abortions are performed on white, middle-to-upper class teenagers and early twenty-somethings.

Being a certain race does not predispose you to derelict or disfunctional behavior.

No one but you even implied that it does.
