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.

DUBYA IN THE DUMPS

PRESS CONFERENCE A DISASTER

By John Podhoretz

NY Post

December 21, 2006 -- Yesterday, at a press conference that was unquestionably the most dispirited performance of his presidency, President Bush implicitly answered a question many close Bush watchers had asked after the thumpin' the Republican Party took in November.

The question was this: How would Bush, who himself had only suffered electoral success since seeking higher office in 1994, handle defeat? The answer: Not well.

Bush looks burned-out. I'm beginning to believe that maybe a president should only serve one six-year term.

Burned-out? Bush has only had to deal with 9-11, War in Iraq and Afghanistan, Shuttle Disaster, Hurricane Katrina and the Left (the Right) "praying" for his demise, undercutting his security policies, and leaking classified information. I can't see how any of this would weigh heavy on ones mind?

That is true... A lot of people would have gone insane by now if they would have gone through what Bush has gone through during the past 6 years.
