Apples and pineapples, i-node. The only way you get that much is if you don't count a lot of costs for Bush and you count them for Obama.

That's incorrect. You need to get away from the f*cking Huffington Post and Daily KOS.

Costs are costs. Dollars spent for the inauguration. Food, Portable toilets, entertainment, security, fire, police, medical, renting giant TV screens, paying $700,000 to keep the museums open, cleanup.

When you total it up, it was 3x what was spent for Bush. According to the newspaper accounts which all we have to go on.
