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.

Furious Parent Blasts Senator Over Health Care

Sen. Kay Hagan's 'Conversations With Kay' Turns Into Health Care Debate

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. (WXII) - "Conversations with Kay" quickly turned into "Confrontation With Kay" when Sen. Kay Hagan visited the Kernersville Senior Enrichment Center.

Hagan has been hosting "Conversations with Kay" across the state of North Carolina, meeting with constituents about their concerns and having her staff on hand to assist people who need help with federal agencies such as the IRS or Veterans Affairs.

Health care became the hot topic during Wednesday morning's event when one mother sounded off about her children's health care needs.

"My children will suffer because of this health care bill," the concerned woman loudly told Hagan . The woman said she's raising two chronically ill children who have been under anesthesia 50 times in the last 14 years.

Does this mother really believe that the government, or for that matter does she really believe that doctors, both individually and/or collectively are going to deprive her children of needed -not wanted - medical care? If she really believes that then I opine that that is what she really wants.
