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.

Bush Serves Up Some Kool-Aid

Bush has been speaking out against this since the early months of his presidency.

Give me a break, Andy. Do you mean the same Bush who chastised Clinton for using US troops for nation-building? Or was it the same Bush who campaigned on smaller government and less spending? Or maybe it was the George Bush who said senior citizens and farmers needed to be more self-sufficient.

How is it that he suddenly gets credit for political consistency now? That's pure Kool-Aid, Andy.

I was against the federal funding aspect of the bill.

As were a lot of us, but that doesn't make his action any less one of pandering, and a blatantly transparent one at that.
