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.
Congressman Paul Broun (D-GA) Doesn’t Want to Sit With Dems at the State Of The Union
"They don't want civility, they want silence from Republicans. The sitting together, being kissy-kissy is just another way to try to silence Republicans and also to keep the American people from seeing how few of them (Democrats) there are in the US House now. ...When Barack Obama spews out all his venom, if they are scattered throughout all the Republicans, it won't be as noticeable as if we were sitting apart" - Congressman Paul Broun (R-GA)
