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.

Aljazeera Interview

Fox News

The State Department publicly supported Alberto Fernandez after he apologized for making anti-American comments on the Arab network Aljazeera last Friday. But now it appears it was not the first time he'd done it.

The National Review Online says that Fernandez gave another interview to Aljazeera on September fifth — and said: "We should admit that there's an American haughtiness and stupidity." He also says the U.S. made "a lot of mistakes" in the Middle East. And he adds: "Today, no doubt, Americans ... are trying intentionally to encourage hell in the Arab world."
