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.

Some N.C. delegates not entirely happy with president's speech

Foxx: Bush didn't go far enough

WASHINGTON

Several members of North Carolina's congressional delegation gave a lukewarm reception to President Bush's speech last night on immigration reform.

Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, said she thought that in some ways he gave "an excellent speech" but was disappointed in many things he did say - and even some things he didn't.
