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.

A Question of Conception?

(Fox News) - Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden is coming under fire in Denver for his pro-choice views on abortion. The Washington Times reports Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput said Sunday that Biden, who is Catholic, is "seriously wrong" for supporting abortion rights.

The archbishop added, "I presume that his integrity will lead him to refrain from presenting himself for communion if he supports a false 'right' to abortion."

Denver's archbishop was not invited to speak at any Democratic convention events but he says he would like to speak privately with the Delaware senator about the matter.
