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.

Bill Clinton: She's big in Canada, Europe

(The Politico) - The Clinton campaign puts a lot of faith in polls, but Bill Clinton, in the first of two stops in Western Iowa today, cited one I hadn't seen before: A survey showing that Hillary is the front-runner among Democrats and Republicans ... in Canada, Britain and Italy.

"In every country, without question, if you take out the undecided, she had the absolute majority," Clinton said. "They like her, they respect her."

(You do have to figure there's a name recognition factor here.)

"America's not going to get a honeymoon here," Clinton said, and the next president will have to move fast to repair relations with the rest of the world. "She would be the best to do that."
