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.

Militant Measures

(Fox News) - As part of his tour, Obama will meet with leaders of the Palestinian authority in the West Bank. World Net Daily reports that Palestinian security officials have called upon Fatah's military wing — the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade — to help provide protection for the presidential candidate.

Al Aqsa is listed as a terrorist organization by the State Department. Security officials say Brigade members will help secure the perimeter during a scheduled meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Meanwhile, the Politico newspaper reports that members of the press traveling with Obama were given a dress code to follow while in Israel and Jordan. They were advised not to wear green clothing, because it is the color of the Hamas terrorist group.
