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.

Just a Job

(Fox News) - The 8-year-old girl in the now-famous Clinton "3 a.m." campaign ad is at present a 17-year-old high school senior named Casey Knowles who supports Barack Obama. The ad was credited with helping Clinton win the Texas and Ohio primaries last week. But the footage of the girl was actually shot years ago for a railroad company advertisement and was purchased by the campaign from the film owner.

Knowles says she is actually a big Obama fan, was a Democratic precinct captain for the state's caucuses and would like to be a delegate to the National Convention.

Knowles says she would like to make what she calls a "counter ad" with Obama and that the Obama campaign has already been in touch.
