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: U2's Bono kneels humbly in the spotlight

"I genuinely believe that second only to personal redemption, the most important thing in the Scriptures -- 2,103 passages in all -— refers to taking care of the world's poor," the singer told The Los Angeles Times.

I believe the boy has something there. Hopefully he takes both ideas to heart and doesn't try to turn the importance of feeding Christ's sheep into a socialist crusade. I have to say I haven't heard anything that indicates Bono falls into the same ideological boat with Pantload Springsteen. With his influence, he could be a force to reckon with in getting people from boardrooms to community centers to contribute. I'm sure God is pleased to have him on his side.
