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.

Presidential Favorites

Fox News

The Gerald Ford Library and Museum reports— the late president was an avid stamp collector— and loved jazz— that he enjoyed golf, tennis, skiing and swimming— and as a Michigan man— was a fan of Detroit Tigers star — Al Kaline.

His favorite meal was pot roast and red cabbage — followed by a dessert of butter pecan ice cream. His hero was President Eisenhower.

And he said his most valued advice was — quote — "that which comes from my wife," Betty — with whom he held the record— as the longest-living First Couple.
