Not according to the AP article above: "The short answer? More than $150 million — and yep, that's the most expensive ever. (By comparison, George W. Bush's 2005 inauguration cost $42.3 million. Bill Clinton managed with $33 million in 1993.)"

I'll take AP over Medimatters every time, no question.

Besides, WGAS how much they spend in self-glorification? It informs the electorate concerning the priorities of the elected. That's a good thing.
