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.

RE: Buying American

Retail and manufacturing execs buying dirt cheap goods from foreign suppliers to sell to the same working class that they helped make jobless.
The retail & manufacturing execs didn't help making people jobless; we did. Let's place blame on the right people here. The execs did what they had to do to stay in business.


To start buying American, folks like Wal-Mart and Rooms To Go are going to need to make it available to their customers.
So Wal-Mart & Rooms To Go should make products available that won't sell??? That doesn't make business sense. There's got to be a demand for American made goods before they will put it on their shelves.


Where can customers find affordable, good quality American furniture these days?
Go ask the local furniture stores if they sell American made furniture. I'll admit, I haven't asked because I haven't bought any furniture. Maybe we can go online and find out through their websites.
