Remember folks, it happened on OBAMA'S watch. Don't let the cons get away with blaming him for everything "on his watch" (which apparently began several months before he was elected President ) without giving credit where credit is due. And for the love of God, don't give the credit to ex-President Bush...this happened on OBAMA'S watch.
