Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

We're Number One

(Fox News) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran is the world's number one power — and is also striking back at one domestic critic he accuses of siding with the enemy.

Ahmadinejad said in a televised address — "Today the name of Iran means a firm punch in the teeth of the powerful and it puts them in their place."

Iran's former top nuclear negotiator has accused Ahmadinejad of undermining Iranian national interest with what was called "coarse slogans and grandstanding."

Ahmadinejad said the comments were an attempt to materialize the plans of the enemy, and show that Iran is small and the enemy is big.
