At news of Osama bin Laden's death, University of Michigan students joined throng outside White House

By Cindy Heflin

Several University of Michigan students told The Michigan Daily they were among the first to arrive outside the White House as the news of Osama bin Laden's death broke Sunday night.

Students from the Ross School of Business who are in Washington, D.C., this week said they "went sprinting down toward the White House" from their hotel room as soon as they heard news reports that the United States had killed bin Laden, the Daily reported.

The students, among 60 from the Ross School in Washington as part of U-M's Carson Scholars program, described the scene outside the White House as a sea of Red, White and Blue.

U-M students also celebrated on South University Avenue in Ann Arbor after President Obama told the nation about bin Laden's death Sunday night.

You know Shep, for someone who is wrong so frequently, you might want to give it a rest and celebrate. You are capable of celebration, aren't you? Celebrate the competency of the ONLY people who can keep us safe. Sane, rational, intelligent Democrats and Independents. Free from the delusions of the TeaPublican fanatics who are so full of hate that they are incapable of recognizing the wisdom of the American people who entrusted their future to the brilliance of Barack Obama! Yes, Barack Hussein Obama! A visionary LEADER! CELEBRATE!!
