Change comes to Bush's White House bio

ProPublica has noticed a change in George Bush's Presidency bio on WhiteHouse.gov. The one I'm outraged about? The deletion of the Bush family cat, Willie, from the page. You can't fool us Obama, we remember the cat! Thankfully the bio also decided to make reference to the fact that George and Laura met at a BBQ. Critical important information. Also there's some business about the collapse of the economy that resulted in this removal:
President Bush worked with the Congress to create an ownership society and build a future of security, prosperity, and opportunity for all Americans.
as well as removing a reference to
increasing homeownership, especially among minorities
Golly, I wonder why that stuff isn't in there anymore? Is there something about the "ownership society" drive and the move to radically increase home ownership that resulted in some worldwide economic catastrophe? I can't remember/have engaged in a extensive drinking program to block the last eight years out of my memory. Well if there was some horrible calamity afflicting us all now then people who only get their info from White House bios won't think that the ownership society was a good thing.

Surprisingly, textual clues make it look like this new bio was written by Bush people and only put up by the Obama webnerds. Even three paragraph Bush web historians saw the writing on the wall. I wonder what the Obama people will write?
George W. Bush was the 43rd President of the United States. It's best not to mention it.
