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.

Boxers or Briefs?

(Fox News) - Underwear designer Andrew Christian began selling Barack Obama boxer briefs Friday. The New York Daily News reports that the slim-fit undies sport a silhouette of the presumptive Democratic nominee on the front and the numerals "08" on the back.

Upon seeing the undergarments, Obama's communications director Robert Gibbs said, "I'm not sure I'd wear those even underneath my clothes." The designer mailed a complimentary set to Obama. But Gibbs says Obama won't wear them because "that would be really weird."

Christian said the Obama bottoms are his only election-related underwear right now. But that if Hillary Clinton became the vice presidential candidate he would definitely create a Hillary bra or camisole.
