The country has been pursuing this terrorist for a decade and the people who were celebrating were for the most part over 20 and had lived through the attacks on the world trade center first hand. The ones who were at ground zero likely all lost friends and family there.
Don't sit there on your high horse and pretend that they don't know why they are cheering. Anyone who was older then 10 years old at that time will have that event ingrained in their minds forever.
What would be a proper display in your mind, sipping tea and turning on a rerun of little mosque on the prairie?

Firstly, half of those people were a bunch of college d-bags looking for an excuse to be part of something. Most of them were still probably 7 or 8 years old when 9/11 went down.
Secondly, the correct reaction, in my eyes, is go on as usual. By celebrating like a bunch of rabid animals, just confirms how much he actually hurt, and how much of an impact he actually had. It shows that the terrorist did win. I doubt, that the families that were truly impacted by this, were the ones scaling trees in front of the white house, and shotguning beers in Times Square.
However I am sure a bunch of them will change their facebook picture, to show their support to Obama.
