21 million dollars !?

[Itsunari 2000]

Contrary to popular belief , I am NOT one of these fanatical anti-Bush campaigners - and he's obviously not the first president to have spent huge amounts on lavish inauguration ceremonies , I realize that , but given these present circumstances , this one is just OTT. Ok , so nobody has to make snipes at Bush , and I'm not saying he or anyone else has to donate but I just think it's in bad taste in lightof recent events.

And I'm sure that speech sent a shiver down the spine of everyone listening ...
