President Obama on Tuesday inadvertently blamed George W. Bush for a startling drop in U.S. crime in the first half of 2009.

According to the FBI, murder and manslaughter fell by 10 percent, all violent crimes were off 4.4 percent, rape was down 3.3 percent and property crimes declined 6.1 percent, continuing trends begun in 2008.

Scott Ott is a hoot. Even though it’s a satirical article, the crowd of asshats currently in power look first for any means they can to push the blame off on Bush guaranteed.

If not Bush, they’ll try to fault somebody, anybody, but themselves for their screwups.

Yeah...it’s not like this could have every happened for REAL...hell naw...

Me thinks the FBI needs to count congress and the unelected banking establishment in its crime statistics to get the real numbers.
