Since the innauguration will cost the U.S. taxpayers $40 million, it would be better to have a simple ceremony that costs nothing and let it go at that.

Why? All other presidents have had their lavish inaugurations, why is everyone carping on Bush now?

I wouldn't worry about Bush. He is going to be up front and as loud as he wants to be. It is in the democrats' best interest to make sure things go nicely. If anything bad happens to our president; I mean ANYTHING; identifiable democrats better hide quickly.
