That would mean this inauguration will cost more that the last three inaugurations COMBINED!

It would seem that Step One in the Spend-to-recovery concept is the Hurray-For-Me day.

And as a second thought - since the image of Barack Obama is licensed (probably to the DNC), I wonder how much will be made by the holder of the license on all those plates, tee-shirts, sweatshirts, etc with image - and where will that money go?
Hey, if I were the first African American President, I'd have a "Hooray for Me" Day too! But, actually it's Hooray for America! As far as the amount of people go, let's not forget that President Obama did not invite them personally. The American people want this celebration-- and I agree, we deserve it!
