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: Payment For Performance?

Did, for instance, CEO Scott Livengood of Krispy Kreme receive 'payment for performance'?

A moot question since they fired him.

It's no wonder why the American worker is slowly being eaten alive in this global economy.

I wasn't aware that there was stiff competition for American CEOs from abroad. Oh, you meant regular workers. What does the ratio of a CEO's salary to those of his employees have to do with world-wide labor competition? The answer is, absolutely nothing.

American labor is getting its clock cleaned on the world market because of labor unions and the entitlement mentality. It is because they have bargained themselves out of the market and the government has told them not to worry, it will feed them when they can't get paid $20 per hour to mow lawns or drive a forklift any more.
