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.

If Carter is "increasingly irrelevant", why is the White House responding to him?
The denial only reveals how relevant Carter must be, at least to making Bush squirm. Sure, Carter made errors as President, but Bush has undoubtedly done America more harm than any single US President in history. If the country can be recovered, it's going to go through a painful re-evaluation of what we should stand for... Pre-emptive war? Unilateral strikes against the will of the UN? Shades of torture & mistreatment of detainees? Clandestine transfer of prisoners for interrogation without any judicial oversight? An executive that grants itself un-Constitutional powers? Don't think the rest of the world isn't looking on with disgust, and horror, along with an increasing number of Americans who are waking up from the post-9/11 horror-show in shame.
