could send the various podiums that POTUS uses in his (or her, someday?) talks around to grade schools, show kids they could stand there too. Put it in the back of a pickup (Scott Brown may have one for sale soon), drive it around.

Or maybe just set them up in public squares, let everyone have a shot at standing there.

If we aren't gonna quit sending money to the wealthy and instead take it from them and send it to working people and those in poverty like Democrats, at least we could pretend there are opportunities, eh? One of those kids is bound to win the lottery...
