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.

(Fox News) - An official for the Obama transition says the president-elect's chief speechwriter has offered an apology to Hillary Clinton.

The Washington Post reports photos of Jon Favreau appeared briefly on the Web site Facebook. One shows him groping a cardboard cutout of the secretary of state-designate while a friend is offering her a beer. Another has Favreau dancing with a cutout.

A spokesman says Clinton is pleased to learn of Favreau's "obvious interest" in the State Department.
