FYI...

Much, but not all, of the cost of Barack Obama's inauguration is being paid through private donations. (Generally speaking, according to National Public Radio, private money covers most of the festivities: the elaborate balls, the huge video screens on the National Mall, the parade. And government funds are used for the actual swearing-in ceremony, security, crowd control, municipal workers' overtime, and so forth.) Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee has promised "an inclusive and accessible inauguration," one that "sets aside partisanship and unites the nation around our shared values and ideals."
Unlike previous inaugural committees, his has not accepted contributions from corporations, political action committees, labor unions, current federal lobbyists, non-citizens, or registered foreign agents. And it's limited individual contributions to $50,000.
As part of its "unprecedented" commitment to transparency, the Inaugural Committee has set up a Web site that includes a humongular chart listing every donation of $200 or more. You can click on the columns in the chart to sort the donations by state, city, amount, employer, even name -- first or last. (You might, for example, want to know every "Edna" in America who gave money.)

Bush Declares State of Emergency for Inauguration

The government has already set aside $15 million to help the District pay for security and medical personnel.

The president’s power to declare a state of emergency is typically used after hurricanes, floods or other natural disasters, although Mr. Stanzel said presidents have occasionally declared emergencies in advance of an anticipated event.

But never before, he said, has an advance emergency declaration been used for a “non-disaster.”

THE SUPER BOWL has a much better ROI for all involved and is free enterprise based

The inauguration is a bureaucratic mess and waste of $.

I'd be happy if I could raise $14 in private donations to buy a tube of toothpaste and a new pair of shoelaces.

Unfortunately, it's government waste and indiscretion that 's responsible for the unraveling of our economy.

Looks like we're off to a good start with the new administration. I suppose they plan to pay for their party with all the money they save in "pork barrel" legislation. Cough, cough, cough........ Sorry, I was just choking for a second.
