Presidents reveal the content of their character in the way they use their “bully pulpit.” -SNIP- Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Bully Pulpit, explained what it meant to President Theodore Roosevelt, as a moral platform meaning "...awesome, or splendid or great." --President Obama has sunk his bully pulpit to Titanic depths. Be forewarned. There’s nothing “awesome, or splendid or great” amidst the wreckage. -SNIP- William K. Muir, author of The Bully Pulpit: The Presidential Leadership of Ronald Reagan, wrote:
-
“Ronald Wilson Reagan, the forty-first president of the United States, was a leader in such a scale -- a national moral leader. He regarded the presidency as a bully pulpit, a place to which Americans looked for hope and from which he was determined to shape the ways they thought about themselves, their society, and their government. And he loved fulfilling that purpose.”
