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.

Obama Picks North Carolina to Win NCAA Championship

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Fox News) — Could Barack Obama’s NCAA championship pick have something to do with an upcoming primary?

No, he was leaning toward North Carolina because of its 6-foot-9 star.

The Democratic presidential candidate and avid basketball player selected North Carolina, Kansas, Pittsburgh and UCLA in his Final Four bracket, and is counting on North Carolina to beat UCLA in the championship game.

That's it: Obama will beat Hillary in the NC primary. Smooth move, dude.

He probably would have won it anyway. Clinton-haters come in both political flavors here in North Carolina. Winning the NC primary is like winning third place in the 25 yard dash. Who cares?

Obama is done. You can stick a fork in him. As long as he was a safe Negro, all those guilty white liberals would flock to him in droves. Now that he has become irrevocably associated with Black radicalism, they will still chirp and smile at him, but they will hold their noses and vote for The Beast, or not.

I predict one of the lowest turnouts ever for a presidential contest. Even Joe Sixpack has no stomach for this Fall's contest between the fascist and socialist wings of the political left.

Judging a man by the worst of what his pastor says from the pulpit is always a bad idea. Most thinking people recognize that.

Joe Sixpack will not turn out this fall, true. But if anyone does, his kids will, and Obama will most likely be the one to benefit. Don't forget: no one likes Hillary.

Unfortunately for Obama, there are a) no thinking people in the media, who will be the ones to wring the story dry, and b) very few thinking people among those who will actually go to the polls this fall. Like it or not, and regardless of who did it to him, he has been pasted, and it is sticking to him.

But if anyone does, his kids will...

I've been hearing that same wishful thinking since 1968 (when Richard Nixon won handily).The 18 to 25 year old demographic is the most overrated group of voters in this country. Politicians and the media incessantly pander to them, yet they turn out in the smallest numbers of any other age group. The attention on that age group has brought the Democrats some of their worst political debacles.

Don't forget: no one likes Hillary.

No one liked Richard Nixon in 1972, yet he went back to Washington in one of the biggest popular and electoral landslides ever. Hillary is apparently popular enough to stay close enough to Obama to force a brokered convention, regardless of what the wish-upon-a-star pundits at NRO think. And should she win the nomination, the spectacle of her handing McCain his own ass in the Fall will be pure circus.

If it was a Republican who was a 20 year member of a church with this garbage coming from the pulpit, all hell would break loose. It's funny how liberals are giving Obama a pass on this but will rip a Republican if he is endorsed by Pat Robertson. It's hypocritical.
