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.

The man from Plains...

The ex-president is known as Joe Human Rights, but he's mighty selective about whose human rights to champion. If you live in Marcos's Philippines, Pinochet's Chile, or apartheid South Africa, he;s liable to care about you. If you live in Communist China, Communist Cuba, Communist Ethiopia, Communist Nicaragua, Communist North Korea, Communist . . .: screw you.
Carter hasn't been very consistent with his human rights campaign... With him, it's either America's fault or Israel's fault. He also has a history of coddling with dictators which is rather odd.
