How much do you think will it cost overall for the pomp and cirstance surrounding the inauguration...?

of Obama's presidency? With the country in recession and our economy in shamble, people out of work, people losing their homes and no money to find food, where is our priority here? Wouldn't it not be prudent if they scale down the partying and save taxpayers money for more important things such as surviving? This goes for all other less priority expenses such as space exploration, foreign aid, government perks, etc. Seems like the politicians are having a wild party this January while thousands are getting laid of their jobs.
