This term 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 (and, indeed, "bully" in Roosevelt's time was often used to define something as "cool" or "neat"). A pulpit is the elevated platform used by a preacher. |
