Why should people be told that homage MUST be paid to one particular preacher? That is so FUX, but it's also Fux out of even good pretend attack ideas.

Hear that sound? It's the bottom of the barrel being scraped. Or the sucking sound of the drain taking Romney's campaign down. Six of one half a dozen of the other.

Plans for the Library were announced on April 23, 2005, at the BGEA headquarters and the groundbreaking ceremony took place in August of that year.

The dedication ceremony took place on Thursday, May 31, 2007, and was attended by Billy Graham, former Presidents Carter, Clinton and Bush and a crowd of nearly 1,500.

So did they bring all the previous presidents to the site posthumously?

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.


Feb 12, 2012

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.

He shouldn't visit it ever. Why would a political figure be required to make a pilgrimage to Billy Graham? F*** that.

Every President needs opportunities for laughter. It's a serious job, and a belly laugh couldn't hurt.

As far as I know, he never even spoke with Billy Graham. ETA: I see now that he did once.

Fox News is the Moran.

Place looks like a barn. I actually attended a couple of Billy Graham revivals as a teenager. I wouldn't go there if I were a block away from the place.
