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 vetoes bill as vowed

From today's WSJ:

Bush and his allies say that frozen embryos are tantamount to humans and therefore are no more appropriate for medical research than are death-row inmates. "If this bill were to become law," Bush said yesterday, "American taxpayers would for the first time in our history be compelled to fund the deliberate destruction of human embryos."
Others reject that view, saying that it would make killers of every couple who produce an ultimately unused embryo in pursuit of a baby, and of every employee and official who allows fertility clinics to produce and store such embryos.


So... whodunnit?
