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.

Stephanie is a co-worker of mine... This was in Sunday's Winston-Salem Journal.

This is a response to the July 30 story about the first Forsyth County Democratic Party dinner ("Watt blasts Bush on debt, foreign policy"). The writer stated that keynote speaker Rep. Mel Watt "didn't offer any solutions." I respectfully disagree. At the beginning of his speech, Watt discussed the things that happened in the early '90s: balancing the budget, shrinking the gap between rich and poor, and being an honest broker for peace in the world. These seemed to me like great solutions.
