A significant amount of the additional cost can be attributed to added security.

Two major differences between Obama and Bush or Clinton:
-Nowhere near 2 million people for their addresses
-They weren't black

Unfortunately, even in 2009, just being black makes it significantly more dangerous for him to stand outside.
