What I mean is that he had LOTS of political capital, the problem with that capitol is that it has a short Shelf life.

He should have used the bully pulpit to get his judges on the bench, he should have used it to get his bills through the senate. He should have shouted from the rooftops about domestic things while his poll numbers were in the stratosphere.

He didn't and it's a shame that all that political capitol was wasted.

I know that he chooses his battles, but he had enough capitol for all of that and more, but he chose not to use it, and that I will never understtand.

The bully pulpit is then a type of statement? Are you aware that he speaks in public almost every day? He specifically asks Americans to demand from their elected representatives in the House and the Senate, that they respond to his requests for his judicial nominations to be acted upon, that his Homeland Security Bill be acted upon,etc - I could go on. If you do know that then I will have to conclude that it is his style of delivering the message that doesn't reach the level of Bully Pulpit.
