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.

Fuzzy Math

(Fox News) - Obama's voting totals during the New York primary earlier this month were vastly under-recorded in several New York City districts. The New York Post reports the Board of Elections says in nearly 80 districts — including many that are historically black — Obama was credited with receiving few or no votes at all — when in fact he had hundreds. Recounts have begun and the results have not yet been certified.

The mistakes are being blamed on human error. And there were some districts in which Clinton was shown as receiving no votes — when she really received hundreds.
