Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Al Gore fails to mention President Barack Obama during Democratic rally in Florida

Al Gore failed to mention President Barack Obama at a campaign rally in Florida as Democrats extended their new tactic for next month's elections - ignoring the man who so inspired them in 2008.

(By Toby Harnden, UK Telegraph) - Representative Kendrick Meek, the Democratic candidate for the United States Senate in the November 2nd mid-terms, also neglected to let Mr Obama's name pass his lips during an appearance with the former vice-president in a union hall.

Instead, the black congressman lauded "President Gore" - a reference to the 2000 election, when hanging chads in Florida and the US Supreme Court cost the Democrat the White House.
