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.
Robert Gibbs: "The American people have watched for decades people playing the blame game. If the blame game put people to work, we would all be rolling money."
Robert Gibbs: “Given the fact that the largest -- the largest driver in our fiscal irresponsibility were a series of programs that weren't paid for -- right? -- taxes cut in 2001 and 2003 that weren't paid for; a Medicare prescription drug benefit that wasn't paid for; wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that weren't paid for." - and - "I appreciate the ability to forget anything that happened before we got here. The president inherited an economic downturn. He inherited a massive budget deficit."
