1. Need 3rd option: Too Early to Tell

If it passes, then he has effectively used the Bully Pulpit.

If it doesn't, he hasn't.

2. He's Just Getting Started
I Believe he WILL use it successfully. Can't judge until the process is complete.

5. He's getting started on it.
I think he frankly wanted a reduced role for the presidency after Bush. I think he wanted Congress to start asserting itself again. Unfortunately, Republicans are obstructionist idiots.
