In 2004, President George W. Bush's inaugural activities cost an estimated $42.3 million plus the cost of security, which brought the total to somewhere between $50m and $70m....during a war.
If you recall, people were OUTRAGED at the pricetag, which was more expensive than any other president in history.
So to those of you who were so pissed off four years ago, I wanted to offer you my sincere sympathy, since Barack Obama's inauguration costs are slated to top $150,000,000...during what the left mistakenly calls "the worst economy since the Great Depression." (It wasn't, by the way. The recessions of the Carter era and the first few years following the transition to Ronald Reagan were significantly worse.)
I can only imagine how pissed you must be now.
