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.
"Do you want to scare the American people? What you say is, the bill is an amnesty bill. It's not an amnesty bill. That's empty political rhetoric trying to frighten our fellow citizens."
