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.

Information Please

(Fox News) - The Clintons' ability to withhold information from the public extends not just to the Clinton Presidential Library, but also to the University of Arkansas library as well. Four enormous binders of data about the Clinton presidency — and Hillary Clinton's role in it — apparently will not be released to the public by the university library before next year's election.

ABC News reports the information was compiled by Clinton friend Diane Blair for a book — but Blair never wrote it and passed away in 2000. The Clintons have one copy of the papers. The other is at the university.

Last month the library said the papers would not be made public until 2009 because they were not yet processed. But the library's annual report for 2005-2006 says the processing is "nearing completion." And one year later the library newsletter said the Blair papers were "previously processed."

The Hillary Clinton campaign says it has not had any contact with the University of Arkansas about delaying the release of the papers.
