ASHINGTON (AP) — A large crowd has gathered in front of the White House to celebrate the death of Osama Bin Laden.
Chants of "U-S-A, U-S-A" are breaking out periodically, and people are waving U.S. flags and taking photos. They're also singing the national anthem.
Will Ditto, a legislative aide, says he was getting ready to go to bed when his mom called him with the news. He decided to leave his home on Capitol Hill and join the crowd, and as he rode the Metro subway system to the White House, he told fellow passengers the news.
Ditto calls the news of Bin Laden's death "huge" and says "it's a great day to be an American."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says Americans have kept their promise after Sept. 11 to capture or kill Osama bin Laden.

yep any other day those crowds are called ‘racists’...
Justice has been served.
USA USA USA
Too bad Osama couldn’t see the new World Trade Center bigger and better than ever.
I’m having a celebratory drink.
Roast in Hell, Osama and all his spawn.
obama is sad that the USA commited such an outrageous act against the islmic community!
God bless our Military.
FUBO!!!
The American Street voices its approval.
Are they dancing in the street and handing out candy? I’m not sure I’m going to believe it. I think I remember Obama promising he would get Osama.
Will Ditto??? That’s redundant.
NY1 is broadcasting live from Ground Zero, and Times Square where giggling young people are chanting USA, (some holding flags with the packaged folds still prominent) and getting up in the camera to talk about bringing troops home, loving everyone, making peace signs ...and you can guess the rest.
It’s astroturf. Disgusting.
Considering the Distict’s makeup, they are pretty White. What was that complaint I heard about the royal wedding? And all those complaints about Tea Party rallies?
Awakened by the news! Great news, I might add! But, my mood is being tempered looking at and listening to, Jerryaldo!
Now Geraldo has kids surrounding him screaming “Woooo Democracy!”
This crowd of mostly D.C. liberals in front of the White House is acting like conservatives tonight. They're patriotic, waving Old Glory, singing the National Anthem and God Bless America. They're chanting USA! USA! USA!
They're saying they're proud to be Americans. What's not to like?
With Obama/Biden signs.
George W. Bush: “Tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done.”
They’re only proud when a “D” is in the White House.
cheers!
An enemy of our glorious Republic is dead and you call that ‘disgusting’. Every patriot should be happy. Forget about the ‘giggling’, the ‘peace signs’, etc. An enemy of our Republic is dead!
