In Washington today 7,000 law enforcement agents from more than 100 federal, state and local agencies are joining together for the most heavily guarded inauguration in history. Coast Guard cutters are stationed in the Potomic River. Anti-aircraft missiles are set up near the Capitol. Sharpshooters will be on rooftops. More than 100 city blocks will be closed to automobile traffic. And some 4,000 troops will be stationed nearby on call. The inauguration is also expected to be one of the most lavish in history. A record-tying $40 million will be spent over the four days of celebrations largely thanks to unregulated donations from corporate America. Donors who gave donors $250,000 will be rewarded with four seats to Bush’s swearing-in ceremony; 10 VIP seats at the inaugural parade; and two tickets to a special luncheon featuring Bush and Cheney.
