Steve,

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.)

I am not posting this as the absolute truth, but to me there is quite a bit between Obama's Inauguration and Bushs so far as money wasted.Would you complain more if something cost you $150 Million than if it cost $43 million? No argument, I just don't quite understand what you are trying to say.

Ron
