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

Chicago Bigs Threatening to Tear Down Reagan’s Boyhood Home?

What should be done with Reagan’s Chicago boyhood home?

(By Jeremy Rozansky, Student Free Press) -
Barack Obama, it turns out, is not the first president with roots in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. A half-dozen blocks south of Obama’s Chicago residence is a six flat building adjacent to the campus of the University of Chicago Medical Center that was a boyhood home to Ronald Reagan.

Now, however, the boyhood home is threatened by significant expansion to the Medical Center. It is likely to be torn down in the near future, although no demolition permit has been filed.
