I heard that they the President was also contacting George W. Bush.

I completely missed this last night -- watched the DVR of "The Amazing Race" and then turned the TV off.

As for the President getting credit, that's part of the gig of being Commander-in-Chief, especially on something like this, where he certainly was involved. You get to take credit when it goes right, you have to take blame when it goes wrong.
