"How much will this shindig cost?"

As the recession continues to wreak havoc on the U.S. economy and inauguration celebrations ramp up, a lot of people are asking: "How much will this shindig cost?"

The short answer? More than $150 million — and yep, that's the most expensive ever. (By comparison, George W. Bush's 2005 inauguration cost $42.3 million. Bill Clinton managed with $33 million in 1993.)

For the first time, President Bush has declared an emergency in Washington, D.C. to supplement the $15 million Congress has already allotted for security measures.




Just think this is just the start of the mass spending..

How did you put that Oldtimer ? Spending like a drunk salior. :D

Let's not insult drunken sailors. Haven't heard a peep out of those complaining about the Palin wardrobe.

Nobody seems to mind that the US economy is in the tank and Obama is spending this kind of money on a PARTY.
The next time they complain about the carbon footprint of cattle I thing we all need to remind them of the damage this blowout of Obama's cost and what kind of foot print it left. :wink:
