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: Qatar: Price of oil would drop $15 if politicians shut up

This guy is very perceptive.

The more politicians demagogue this, the more instability in prices. All this whining about oil company price gouging will keep prices high longer than they need to be as well.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could elect a crop of politicians who realized that sometimes the best way to serve is to sit down and shut up?
