Who gets to pray at Obama's Inauguration?

Here's my opinion after I say this. It is Obama's inauguration and no matter what I think. He get's to decide who prays.
Here's my letter sent to sac Bee again-

Regarding the issue of who gets to pray or not pray at the inauguration.
Why am I reminded of when my children were young? One of my four daughters would come running in the house to complain to me how “so and so” was doing “such and such” and what am I going to do about it? Or in observing my children’s play times how often one would tell one of their playmates “John” that if they were going to play with “Jane” they would no longer be their friend. Then “Jane” in retaliation would no longer play with “John” and on and on it would go. All the while us adults, who were children once, would be shaking our heads at the silliness of it all.
My children are all grown now and perhaps over time these will grow up too, but alas I think not.
It seems the only ones not entering the fray are the ones doing the praying.
