I make no claim that Obama has done anything to reduce crime, but it also hasn’t bounced up dramatically since his taking office. It’s continued a long downward trend, at about the same rate as under Bush or Clinton.
Such longterm trends are not much affected by which pols are in power. You have only to look at the stats for the last 50 years I linked to in the post above to see that.
“Except that under Obama murder and other crimes have continued a decades-old downward trend”
Excuse me, but yes you did claim Obama had something to do with it.
