has been pretty outspoken in his contempt of President Obama. And when was it required for US presidents to pay homage to evangelical preachers? It's not like he is the head of a religious denomination.

Graham, the CEO and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told a Morning Joe panel he couldn't say for certain that Obama is a Christian.

-“You have to ask him. I cannot answer that question for anybody. All I know is I’m a sinner, and that God has forgiven me of my sins," Graham said. "You have to ask every person. He has said he’s a Christian, so I just have to assume that he is.”

In another provocative comment aimed at Barack Obama, evangelist Franklin Graham on Thursday accused the president of having “shaken his fist” at God by changing his position on same-sex marriage.

“It grieves me that our president would now affirm same-sex marriage, though I believe it grieves God even more,” Graham said in a prepared statement. This is a sad day for America. May God help us.”

Furthermore........................

In 2007, three former presidents -- Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- attended the dedication of the library. George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, met with Graham and signed books after walking through its cross-shaped doors. President Obama traveled to Graham’s mountaintop log cabin in Montreat to sit and chat with him.

And why are those Obama hating fascists at Fake News bringing this up now. The library opened in 2007.
