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: RE: On Osama's Endorsement

You completely missed my point and misread my post, but I'm really not suprised. You're simply drunk on party-line punch, and your inebriation prohibits you from recognizing faults within your own team (and the evenly distributed absurdity of American politics in general). If you happen to have a sober moment any time soon, go back and re-read what I actually said. It might make some sense to you then.

In your mind regarding party affiliation, Republicans will be virtuous and Democrats will be evil. On that note (and speaking of dream worlds), maybe it is true that most people dream in black and white.

Regardless of what you've been led to believe (and what an increasing amount of Americans are finally figuring out), the war in Iraq still has nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden, no matter how many times you and others mention it alongside his infamous name. He's probably thrilled that the US is spending all that time, money, and manpower there rather than on finding him. Plus, terrorists like Bin Laden are happy to use the whole 'American occupation of Iraq' slant to recruit more nutjobs to join their ranks. Yeah, lots of good we're doing in Iraq, Tanya. The war is a waste of time, effort, tax dollars, and lives (not necessarily in that order), all of which could be utilized in ways to better address the real issues regarding potential terrorism on US soil. Your beloved Republican president decided to fight the War on Terrorism by invading Iraq. It was a mistake. 'Staying the course' when the course was based on a mistake is a mistake. One could even argue that staying the course determined by a mistake is insane.
