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: Help!



From Rush Limbaugh: Well, folks, it hasn't even taken a year! With Democrats in charge, we've got government spending at an all-time high, record deficits, and unemployment like we haven't seen in almost 30 years (not since the last time a Democrat ruined the economy).

So now our president is considering "all options" to create jobs. According to presidential advisor (and slum lord) Valerie Jarrett, "everything is on the table." She says: "You've got this huge national deficit, and we've got to do whatever we can to bring that down. At the same time, it's important to stimulate the economy. Let's wait and see... let's let the recovery bill do its job."

Ms. Jarrett. We've got this "huge national deficit"? That's Barack Obama's, Harry Reid's, and Nancy Pelosi's deficit! It's yours! You Democrats have spent more than anybody in history, and we don't have to "wait and see" what the results are! Despite your claims about stimulating the economy, we've got massive unemployment -- because you decided to grow government, instead of the private sector. You're taxing everything that moves, and everyone who's capable of producing real jobs. You've already jacked up the real estate, financial, and leisure industries. You've placed entire industries under government control, and you now threaten to kill off the insurance industry, ruin health care delivery, and ravage the energy sector.

You know, the best thing you could do for our economy is to stop doing everything you're doing, and let the American people do what they do best: produce and innovate... without your so-called help. Please, just get out of the way. We know it's a pipe dream, but we're still Americans, and we can still dream... for a while.
