If he would only use it more frequently!
He has the weigh up his duties as President of the whole of the United States and that of a Republican President not an easy thing to do IMHO.
Finally he is doing better!
Bush is in the bully pulpit to drive the news the way he desire.

Serious question - how many speeches are you aware of that President Bush gave this week? I'm sure you know that "MSM" does NOT want to help President Bush to use his bully pulpit, so I wonder how much of his effort this past week made it to your knowledge (unless you already know his schedule from reading FR.)
I would love to do a poll on how many speeches he gives vs how many public appearances people believe he has.
I had heard that he was speaking somewhere on [last] Friday
wanted to set my VCR and went to the Whitehouse website; no help
went to Scott McClellan's press briefing which I read as reporting that Bush was going to Chicago on Thursday. I knew that was wrong!
I called the White House switchboard, to be told that they could not give out the info about the President's whereabouts! Okay.
CSPAN was not helpful.
And so it goes - the media really helps keep him a stealth president, as much as they can.
