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.

BP Contributor Poll: Employment Benefits

I thought that it might be interesting to have a 'BP Contributor Poll,' where each one of us shares our own personal preferences, not philosophy regarding a BP-related topic. For instance, yes or no: If you were running for the office of US President, would you consider having Karl Rove as an advisor?'

Maybe I don't like Rove very much, but maybe I want to win, help out some friends, avoid decision-making, and stay out of trouble.

See? Suddenly my political boundaries don't exist! Fun but it has to be 100% honest. If someone's still hiding behind his or her politics, it just ruins it for everybody.

Okay, first installment. This is a real softball, but interesting nonetheless:

Considering that every other economic detail of your life will remain the same, would you prefer to receive your employer's current benefits package, or its cash equivalent?
