I am reminded of something I heard Rick Brookhiser say, long ago: “The problem with the bully pulpit is — bullying.” (I know, I know, we know, we know: TR did not mean “bully pulpit” in a bad sense. He meant “bully” like “terrif!” But some use the pulpit of high office for bullying . . . and bullying the wrong people, i.e., those who don’t deserve it. That is what happened in the case of Obama vs. the Cambridge, Mass., Police Department.)
