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.

Deal to end crisis in Nicaragua...

...for now.

From BBC News:

Nicaragua's President, Enrique Bolanos, has announced an agreement with the opposition-controlled Congress to end a deepening political crisis. A power struggle had threatened the government and US aid to the country. The pact was reached between Mr Bolanos and the left-wing Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega...

The Nicaraguan president, who took office in 2002 after a landslide victory over Mr Ortega, had claimed he was the innocent victim of a pact between the Sandinistas and his own Liberal Party.
