The Bully pulpit

America's 39 presidents have not all been great men, but they have all had great--sometimes greatly amusing and sometimes greatly surprising--things to say on myriad subjects. From Washington to Reagon, American presidents have sounded off with wit, eloquence, humor, solemnity, spitefulness and brilliance on everything from foreign policy to the personalities of their fellow presidents. The Bully Pulpit collects the cream of these presidential quotes and offers nearly 3,000 of them in a single, splendid volume.
