| Expert 808 Columbia, MD | Subject: RE: Only 2 days until presidential 'installation' day occurs I will be there in person with a couple friends from work. I believe Renee will be there too. I posted a thread last week about who was going, but I don't think there are many of us from BT going. |

| Subject: RE: Only 2 days until presidential 'installation' day occurs Disclaimer - this comment is not based upon the nature of the party coming into power, it would be the same if McCain won...... phew... that said.... I am so glad the federal government finally found a place to spend that $40M apparently burning a hole in its pocket I'll be working and waiting for Wolf to post something partisan that day |

You are totally wrong. Bush just approved the additional budget required. |

Me, I will be working and having a normal day I presume. Are many of you going to watch it on TV or in person? definitely not either. it is a momentous occasion and all, but i'll be flying to cali. even if i wasn't, i wouldn't watch. i live about 150 miles south of DC and our major highways have traffic advisories for the inauguration...craziness. |

| Master 2277 Lake Norman, NC | Subject: RE: Only 2 days until presidential 'installation' day occurs Taking the family to Hawksnest Ski Resort for snow tubing for the day and DVR'ing the inauguration. I promissed the kids that if we didn't have decent snow here and could go sleigh riding, we would drive the 2 hours up to the mountains to do it.

You are totally wrong. Bush just approved the additional budget required. No, he's not totally wrong. The funding for inaugural events comes from both the President-elect's inaugural committee and fundraising, as well as the federal government. |

| Expert 1288 Hatboro, PA | Subject: RE: Only 2 days until presidential 'installation' day occurs I'm taking a day off of work to watch the events on TV. Originally, I thought about going to DC, but I don't like large crowds, which would be a problem. |

I want to say the Govt is only picking up the security. I believe. And it is coming to the approximate $40M. I think. But, I could be wrong. Wouln't be the first time. |

| Extreme Veteran 861 Northbridge, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: Only 2 days until presidential 'installation' day occurs Here is a link to an article on the cost. Security is about $40 million, but two other states are asking for federal monies to the tune of an addition $75 million.
