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.

From National Review Online:
The reason — the main reason — to oppose Barack Obama is not that he lacks experience but that he is a leftist. The reason to oppose Palin is that she is a conservative. I remember when Quayle was knocked for his lack of experience (which now looks like a wealth). I said, “Well, Howard Metzenbaum, George McGovern, and Ted Kennedy have experience. What’s your point?”
There’s much more to say, of course, but you get my drift.
