sorting out the OBL timeline

This TalkingPointsMemo article points out that the Seal team was probably going into OBL's compound in Pakistan right about the time the president was telling jokes at Donald Trump's expense at the white house correspondence dinner. One particular featured (and very funny) joke was about Trump's decision to fire Gary Busey on Celebrity Apprentice.
What occurred to me as I read that is that Obama also got to interrupt the Celebrity Apprentice boardroomfiring scene to announce OBL's death. I'm not reading anything into this, but it is amusing.
OBL's death is not so amusing. Yes, he earned it, deserved it, but I remain uncomfortable with the notion of celebrating anyone's death.
