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.

Non-Partisan 'Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign.'

(By Jim Geraghty, National Review Online) - Good heavens. Nobody with functioning brain cells ever bought the line that ACORN was a non-partisan voter registration organization — the $800,000 from the Obama campaign ought to be your first clue — but sending out e-mails that "Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign" pretty clearly lets the cat out of the bag:

Ohio ACORN is doing a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign. Ohio ACORN is hiring canvassers to go door to door encouraging voters to vote for Barack Obama.

Interestingly, one of the e-mails went out saying that they were "encouraging voters to vote for Barak Obama." Hey, guys, massive voter fraud efforts are bad enough, but misspelling the candidate's name is just unforgivable.

But look, as massive, egregious, and disturbing as ACORN's criminal behavior is - identity theft and all — it's not like people are just finding $2,300 donations to Obama on their credit card statements that they never made.

Oh, wait. They are.

I guess this is what Obama meant by "spreading the wealth around."
