#1 there's no way to give these youngsters this incredible experience without sending the wrong message to their disadvantaged peers who have played by the rules.

Hasn't stopped anyone in the past.

#2 You ever hear anyone brag about attending the inauguration of James Buchanan or Jimmy Carter? Or is this the gods way of introducing a bit a Greek Tragedy foreshadowing for the story to follow?

#4 They could have picked three exceptional teens that have distinguished themselves scholastically or in some other way that potentially benefits society.

But they didn't, they choose three hoods in jail that beat up an old woman in a home invasion. That DOES send a rather unambiguous message to young people.

#5 Home invasion, beat up an old lady, get measured for a tux and a free trip to the inaguration.

#6 Ok as long as it's not my money. If some airhead millionaire wants to spend a bundle on some stupid symbolic gesture, so be it. It just leaves a little less for him to spend on trying to elect dangerous leftists.

#7 In a perfect world, they would send groups of juvenile thugs from rival gangs who, tuxedos not withstanding, would continue their tribal rivalry live on network tv with traditional volleys of poorly aimed gunfire. It would be an inauguration to remember!
