I would normally be among the first to point out things President Bush has done that I disagree with (another day, to be sure), but this is less than $14m per helicopter per year, for overdue modernization to continue to ensure the safety of presidents well after Bush. And I may be wrong, but wasn't it mentioned somewhere that delivery of the helicopters wouldnt begin until 2007? This is hardly Nero's Golden Palace.
