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.

So Talk Already

Well, Strother, you managed to throw out a lot of generalities, but you didn't really say anything.

You said:

As a state, we owe it to our fishing industry to protect our own business owners and personal interests.

What does that mean? Do you want someone or something to do something? What do you want this someone or something to do? Who do you want doing it? The government? Elves?

Let's concern ourselves with the welfare of NC workers and native residents first.

Indeed, but how? Once again, you suggest a course of action, but you are woefully short on detail.
