It’s time for the White House to go on offense and “get our mojo back.” Josh Bolten said Sunday in his first interview since taking over as the president’s chief of staff.

Bolten made no promises of pulling up President Bush’s all-time low approval ratings, but he said he and Bush have decided they want to be more open with the media and the public.

“We’ve taken advice from a lot of folks that we ought to put the president out more in ways that the American people can see what he’s really like,” Bolten said on “Fox News Sunday.” ~Seattle P-I

It would surely help his reputation if Mr. Bush’s personality were very different from his public persona, but that would mean that he has been choosing to act in the goofy, stilted and inflexible way that he has done for the last six years. But mojo? Has it come to the White House chief of staff referring to mojo in interviews now? I know there must be a great many worse signs of cultural decline than this, but it isn’t good. But perhaps Austin Powers and his time machine can help.
