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.

RE: Kerry ripped for Iraq, education remark

I believe behind closed doors, Kerry is probably getting ripped by his own party. Elections are all about turnout and motivating a party's base... The liberal base is already fired up, whereas the conservative base is somewhat depressed and pessimistic. Remarks like what Kerry made can only help the Republicans.

With regard to what Kerry said, it was stupid and typical Kerry. If he runs for president again, he just gave his opponents, both Democrats and Republicans, plenty of ammo to use against him in '08.
