Why are righties whining about murders in Chicago's when it's almost half of what is was under Reagan and Bush Sr (Rudy Giuliani, Obama)

The number of total murders in Chicago last year was 433. The year before it was 436. In 1981, during Reagan's term it was 871, in 1992 during George H. W. Bush it was 943.
I've seen quite a few righties blame Obama for the number of murders.
Is it that these righties all of a sudden care about Chicagoans, whereas they didn't before??

Because the teflon's still slick, no other reason.
We'll have nothing bad said about Mr RayGun, got it?

My goodness, you lefties are getting desperate....
Pretty lame what you lefties are trying to bring up to to deflect from what is actually going on in the United States....
Of course now, I'll get berated to stay on topic or why can you not answer the question....
Well, this is not really a topic that has anything to do with anything except to bash the right and there is no question worth answering...
No one should get more credit for the declining homicide rate over the last 20 years than Newt. Thank you OP for bringing up a Republican success story.

You have a vivid imagination. I've never seen or heard anyone blame Obama.
That said, I'm not whining. Let them off themselves. No skin off my nose.
You're one of the few hardcore lefties I haven't put on ignore yet. Your posts are so highly amusing it's like reading the daily funnies when I was a kid.
Wouldn't it have more to do with who was the Mayor of Chicago than the President of the United States? They're always comparing the drop in New York City's crime rates during Rudy Giuliani's term to when his predecessor (the black Mayor, I can't remember his name) was in office.
What you see here is a strong downward trend in the US homicide rate since the passage of the Contract with America, About the only thing government has done in the last 20 years that actually benefitted the American people. Just when I though the OP was a partisan hack he brings up a Republican success story.
