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.

A senior White House official says the Democrats have actually welcomed the conversation — and understand the negative consequences of working too quickly to reverse Mr. Bush's Iraq policy.
