Theodore Roosevelt began explicitly using public address as what he
termed a "bully pulpit" during his presidency. Public address
provided him the opportunity to talk to the people-and thereby put
pressure on reluctant public figures to effect policy. In doing so,
Roosevelt significantly enlarged the rhetorical impact of the
presidency. After Roosevelt, presidents have used this "bully
pulpit" to different degrees, but the idea of speaking directly to
the people on a regular basis--as well as to Congress--has
inarguably affected the presidency and the nation's politics. The
Bully Pulpit contains words of every president from Theodore
Roosevelt onward. The opening chapter introduces readers to various
ways of studying presidential rhetoric. Selections include
inaugural addresses, foreign policy pronouncements, State of the
Union addresses, political campaign and convention speeches,
farewell addresses and eulogies, press conferences, and written
texts and tweets. The book includes famous speeches as well as
relatively unknown gems, such as Wilson speaking on woman's
suffrage, Harding on civil rights, and Truman rallying the 1948
Democratic National Convention. Brief biographical sketches, head
notes, and discussion questions provide readers with background,
context, and opportunities for reflection. The Bully Pulpit is the
ideal anthology for courses in presidential rhetoric, American
public address, and political communication. It also serves as a
valuable supplementary text for courses in political science.
