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.

Be Careful What You Wish For, Congress

By Neil Cavuto
Fox News

Well it seems like House Democrats have found a president they can believe in.

Not Barack Obama, who wants the job.

And certainly not George Bush, who has the job.

But Hugo Chavez, who as far as I know, doesn't qualify for the job.

But Chavez qualifies for something else. Something Democrats have increasingly been demanding in the United Sates. Something Chavez has been doing in Venezuela.

Nationalizing the oil companies.

Specifically, some House Democrats want to nationalize oil refineries. This way the government could better control the flow of the oil supply.

Marvelous. So they're opposed to more drilling.

But not opposed to more government.

Shocking. Please cue a FOX News Alert.
