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.

Logging Off?

(Fox News) - Viewership for President-elect Obama's weekly video addresses is declining. The Washington Times reports the first video —- which was posted on YouTube on November 15 -- drew 790,000 viewers over its first three days and is now nearing 1 million total.

The second video was viewed 451,000 times in three days. The third garnered 152,000 views. And while last weekend's fourth installment was watched 370,000 times in three days, that is still 400,000 fewer than his first.

The president-elect's YouTube channel has slipped to No. 21 in the weekly rankings. During the campaign, it regularly cracked the top ten.
