Bush's Inauguration

From an older article on MSNBC.

The estimated budget for the event is $30-40 million, but that will not cover security costs.

Is it just me, or is that a bit, well, excessive? I think the initial promised US aid for the Tsunami was about $30 million (I think it's now about $350 million).

He's being sworn in for four years in office. Not being crowned. though i'm sure that some people would like that very much. not me.
