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.

Census Controversy

(Winston-Salem Journal) - A decision by Obama to have the White House directly oversee the 2010 Census brought fierce opposition from Republicans.

In a letter to the Obama administration, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-10th, said he was "shocked and dismayed" by the decision, which he called an attempt to "politicize the operations of the Census Bureau and jeopardize the fairness and accuracy of the 2010 Census."

The Commerce Department traditionally oversees the Census. But Hispanic advocates questioned whether Obama's pick to lead the department, Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., would conduct a fair accounting of minority groups.

Since Obama’s earnest drive to convince the nation to weaken its economic strength through redistribution as well as weaken its national defense, COUPLED WITH HIS UNPRECEDENTED WHITE HOUSE TAKEOVER OF DECENNIAL CENSUS TAKING FROM THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT, has confirmed the very threats to our Republic’s survival that the Constitution was designed to avert, it no longer is sustainable for the United States Supreme Court and Military Joint Chiefs to refrain from exercising WHAT IS THEIR ABSOLUTE CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY TO DEFEND THE NATION FROM UNLAWFUL USURPATION. The questions of Obama’s Kenyan birth and his father’s Kenyan/British citizenship (admitted on his own website) have been conflated by his sustained unwillingnes to supply his long form birth certificate now under seal, and compounded by his internet posting of a discredited ‘after-the-fact’ short form ‘certificate’. In the absence of these issues being acknowledged and addressed, IT IS MANIFEST THAT OBAMA REMAINS INELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT UNDER ARTICLE 2 OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. Being a 14th Amendment ‘citizen’ is not sufficient. A ‘President’ MUST BE an Article 2 ‘natural born citizen’ AS DEFINED BY THE FRAMERS’ INTENT.

I fully agree with Ted, however, with the current Democrat/Progressive/Socialist leadership we are being rapidly propelled into Socialism by, and that same group being in charge of the various Departments of the government, I doubt that the issue of Obama's birth certificate will ever see the light of day, much less a courtroom (preferrably the Supreme Court).
