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: Re: Whimpering About Whimpering About...

That’s odd, Steve. I thought that the heart of Fred's thesis was that positive, ambitious role models are essential to a child's success in life. Both success stories featured positive, influential teachers — in these two cases, good parents — who taught those who rose above their unfortunate beginnings.

Some folks have good teachers at home, and some don’t. What about those who don’t? "Welcome to the world, ‘The Unkilled’"… and then what?
