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.

Who's Promising to Give Us Jimmy Carter's Second Term?


From Rush Limbaugh:

"Republican John McCain said Tuesday the federal government should practice the energy efficiency he preaches, pledging as president to switch official vehicles to green technologies and do the same for office buildings." Who is it that's going to be Jimmy Carter's second term, is it going to be Obama or McCain? I thought it was going to be Obama. "Expanding upon his ideas to address the nation's energy crisis, the Arizona senator also called for a redesign of the national power grid so power is better distributed where it's needed--" (sigh) Where is it not needed? Appalachia? West Virginia? Where's it not needed? "--and the country has the capacity to run electric vehicles that he wants automakers to supply."
