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.

Is Barack really the Messiah?


Messiah In Our Midst
The One, the Anointed.

National Review Online

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

Before we answer that question, let me vent for a moment. In 2000 I was cruelly denied the Pulitzer despite being the only columnist in America to ask the pressing question: Is Al Gore an alien? The evidence was there for all to see. He was born nine months after the mysterious alien sighting at Roswell, N.M. His weird syntax and verbal rhythms are otherworldly. He often refers to “earth” or “this planet” as if he’s just passing through, and he once angrily complained to the Washington Post that it had printed a picture of the earth from outer space “upside down.”

There is no “upside down” in space — unless Gore had his childhood view in mind.

The Republicans have already started to take Obama apart. By the time they are done with him, there won't be enough of him left to make a cardboard cutout. Obama's True Believers are going to be every bit as pathetic as Bush's were (and some still are).

The framers of the constitution were acutely aware of the dangers surrounding the popular election of presidents. In the first iterations, the president was not selected by any form of popular vote. Unfortunately, the degenerate forces of democracy were too strong and they created the opening for the early twentieth century progressives to begin destroying the republic. Both Bushes, both Clintons, Obama, and McCain are the culmination of the resulting cult of personality that the American presidency has become.
