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.

Change of Direction

Fox News

The Senate Intelligence Committee's Ranking Democrat, who voted to authorize the war in Iraq, now says he would have voted against it if he'd known about the administration's "deliberately cynical manipulation" before the war. But West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller goes even further, saying the world would be better off today if the U.S. had never invaded Iraq -- even if it meant Saddam Hussein would still be in power.

Rockefeller tells CBS News that Saddam, "wasn't going to attack us. He would've been isolated there," adding, "we wouldn't have depleted our resources preventing us from prosecuting a War on Terror, which is what this is all about."
