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.

Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Three Amigos

From Rush Limbaugh: Last week, Jimmy Carter -- America's National Hemorrhoid -- accused half the country of being racist for opposing Obama's health care takeover. Well, the peanut-brain peanut farmer is flapping his gums again.

Jimmy Carter, the worst president of the last century (until now) has aligned himself with Venezuelan thug-dictator Hugo Chavez -- and against his own country. Carter told the Columbian newspaper El Tiempo, "There is no doubt" the United States knew, and possibly participated in, the 2002 coup attempt to topple Hugo Chavez. This is the same bogus pretext that Chavez has been using to stir up anti-American hate ever since.

Carter went further. He told the paper he thinks Chavez was elected in a fair vote in 1999 and has since done a good job helping those who are traditionally excluded to "get a larger share of the national wealth."

Now, least we forget, Chavez has shut down virtually all opposing media, packed the courts with cronies, thrown political opponents in jail, nationalized industries under threat of force, and formed alliances with Iran and other nations hostile to America.

In spite of that (or maybe because of that), the National Hemorrhoid, Jimmy Carter, says President Obama told him he'd like to have "normal relations" with Chavez.

Among the three amigos -- Carter, Chavez and Obama -- it's hard to decide who despises America most. But there's no doubt who is in the best position to cripple America -- and he's doing it as fast as he can... right before our eyes.
