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.

Common Man?

(Fox News) - Vice President-elect Joe Biden said in his remarks to the National Governor's Association last month that "since the race is over no one pays attention to me at all."

A big laugh line that may have been a little prophetic at least according to one newspaper. The Delaware News Journal reports Biden and his wife couldn't get in to watch a movie Saturday night in Wilmington because it was sold out.

Theater employee Becky Gingrich of Regal Cinemas says Biden was surrounded by Secret Service agents but that "it didn't seem many people recognized him. Honestly, I think people were just too wrapped up in themselves to notice." The Biden camp has not confirmed the story.
