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.

Educational Effort

Fox News

Wal-Mart under attack by a group that wants to unionize its workers — is fighting back — and the attackers don't like it one bit. Wal-Mart has engaged in voter registration drives for its associates and handed out voter education materials.

But the campaign director for WakeupWalmart.com says the company has "declared war on the Democratic party" and is trying to defeat Democrats who are critical of Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar tells FOX News the company is merely engaged in a non-partisan educational effort to inform its employees what politicians are saying about Wal-Mart — good and bad.
