Well I guess if you say it for the rabid base and then apologize.....its OK with Jesus.... [View all]


The White House appreciates Rev. Franklin Graham’s apology for questioning President Barack Obama’s Christianity even though it didn’t ask for one.

Mr. Graham, son of evangelist leader Rev. Billy Graham, made headlines earlier this month when he said on MSNBC that he wasn’t sure about Mr. Obama’s faith because he doesn’t know what’s in his heart.

Mr. Graham released an apology Wednesday, saying he accepts Mr. Obama’s word that he’s a Christian.

“We didn’t seek an apology,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said when asked about it Wednesday. “We certainly appreciate the sentiment expressed, and we’ll leave it at that.”
