Barack Obama to Skip Billy Graham Funeral

There are few names as associated with modern Christianity as Reverend Billy Graham. For decades, the pastor has served as an advisor to presidents regardless of party. He was a living embodiment of how people should act toward those who may disagree with them.

As the day of the funeral fast approaches, past presidents and other dignitaries are paying their respects: former President George W. Bush did on Monday, and former President Bill Clinton did the same on Tuesday. President Donald Trump will be attending Graham's funeral on Friday.

Yet former President Barack Obama will be skipping it, according to the Associated Press: "Former President Barack Obama is not planning to attend memorial services for the late evangelist Rev. Billy Graham this week."

Obama did tweet that Graham was "a humble servant who prayed for so many," but the former president is still opting to skip the services. The message sent by this drops any pretense that Obama actually respects what Graham stood for.

None of this is overly surprising, at least for many American Christians. Obama, despite his claims of sharing their faith, routinely acted in a manner that showed disdain for the faithful. He rarely made an effort to reach out to Christians during his presidency, and actively targeted them with his policies and actions: See his stance on Hobby Lobby, and his never-forgotten feelings on rural Americans being simpletons clinging to guns and religion.

TV Interview  From 2008:

OBAMA: What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith, and you’re absolutely right that that has not come …

STEPHANOPOULOS (interrupting): Your Christian faith.

OBAMA: My Christian faith — well, what I’m saying is …

STEPHANOPOULOS (interrupting): Connections, right?


I wonder if he'll skip Jeremiah Wright's funeral if it happens in his lifetime....

Does anyone really care if a Commie fairy skips a funeral for a religious leader?

No. In fact, his presence is kind of an insult.

I heard they said the reception was going to offer bacon snacks.

When the occasion presents itself I will gladly not attend the Ex Pres Funeral. But I will welcome the reports of it.

I'm glad he decided not to go. Images of him attending would've caused severe cognative dissonence, in me anyway.

Like watching Little Nicky taking communion or Hugh Hefner teaching kindergarten.

After the way Obama acted at Nelson Mandela's funeral, I wouldn't want him anywhere near Graham's.

I'm glad he decided not to go too, seeing as it would be 100% hypocritical of him to be there.

I'm pretty sure he didn't want to hear the Name of Jesus as many times as he would hear it at the funeral.

btw, will it be televised, or just shown on Franklin's website?

Graham didn't so much pray for so many as tell them to repent.  BarryO is not jiggy with that.

 Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.

Barry's just mad that Graham didn't properly recognize him as The Messiah.

A little touchy tonight, RIV?

Yikes.  I took her off Ignore for one post because I figured she couldn't be snarky on this thread. 

Lesson learned.   *****rollingeyes*****

Here's the photo that I was referring to.....



And I know to whom I was referring.  ^-^
