Last year, for Christmas, Cheney presented Bush with a $400 pair of binoculars, while the president bought his second-in-command a $338 hammock on a steel frame.
U2 frontman Bono gave Bush an iPod and a book on the Bible, together valued at $440.
No doubt aware of Bush's penchant for cutting brush on his ranch, Home Depot Chairman Robert Nardelli gave the president a chainsaw and accessories worth $351.
ELMS Puzzle Inc. gave Bush two hand-carved wooden puzzles worth $3,000, while the U.S. Playing Card Co. presented the president with two poker chip sets (with cases) worth $900.
Cheney and his wife, Lynne, also reported receiving inaugural clothes from a McLean, Va., tailor. Suk Im Kwon gave Mrs. Cheney a $5,360 dress-and-coat outfit and donated a $1,850 inaugural suit for the vice president.

I hate that Bono gets to meet with the President. Did he go alone or did he go with U2? Would a conversation be something like "Did you meet with the President?" "Yes U2" "Nope, not me, I never met him"
