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.
"These are tough times we're going through in California and America, and I'm not going to sugarcoat that," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said Thursday.
