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.

She cited an article in Friday's Politico newspaper that contained a quote from an anonymous Democratic senator: "No one wants to call (Petraeus) a liar on national TV. The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us."
