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

Janet Napolitano: We’re Working “24/7, 364″ To Keep The American People Safe

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Ya gotta wonder which day America’s anti-terror forces are kicking their feet up with a book and maybe a nap, instead of, you know, “keeping the American people safe?”

On ABC’s 'World News' tonight, Diane Sawyer sat down with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to talk about the possibility of a terror attack over the holidays.

And Napolitano, doing her best to keep us all feeling cozy and warm, said it’s 'almost' a year-round operation:


“What I say to the American people is that… thousands of people are working 24/7, 364 days a year to keep the American people safe.”
