this week instead of attending Billy Graham's funeral the memorial services
for America's pastor Billy Graham continued this week as former presidents
and politicians pay their respect to the man who served God with all his heart
this past week we have seen former President George W Bush and former
President Bill Clinton honoring Reverend Billy Graham in separate services with
President Trump attending Graham's funeral on Friday however there is one
previous president that has decided to skip Reverend Billy Graham's funeral
service and it really comes as no surprise former President Barack Obama
announced that he would not attend the funeral services of the beloved Reverend
but instead will focus on his own personal interests instead during
Obama's presidency he claimed to the world that he was a Christian and that
he supported religious freedom however that turned out not to be the case as
Obama did all that he could to target Christians with his actions and policies
for instance who could forget Obama's stance on Hobby Lobby when they pushed
back against his unconstitutional Obamacare mandate forcing employers to
provide birth control or his statement saying that rural Americans were foolish
people who clung to their religion and guns with all that being said it comes
as no surprise that when Reverend Billy Graham passed away last week that Obama
would not be a part of the memorial services to honor his life though while
Obama's snub is predictable what he is choosing to do that day is needless to
say is disgusting Barack Obama announced that he was
choosing to skip the memorial for Graham and instead would travel to his hometown
of Chicago to promote the building of his Presidential Library dot here is
more from the Western Journal Barack Obama has chosen not to participate in
any of the events honoring evangelist Billy Graham this week but he did carve
out time to make a surprise visit to a community meeting in Chicago to promote
the building of his Presidential Library Graham met and in some cases became
close friends with every president from Harry Truman to Obama during his tenure
as America's pastor which stretched from the 1940s to the 21st century he in fact
also earned the moniker of pastor to the presidents
Trump was not able to meet with Graham as president but was on hand to help
celebrate the preachers 95th birthday in 2013 Obama met Graham in the spring of
2010 at the evangelists home in Montreat North Carolina as reported by the
Western journal George W Bush and his wife Laura traveled to Graham's library
in Charlotte on Monday to pay their respects to the late Christian leader
Bush also came bearing greetings from his 93 year old father George HW Bush
the nation's 41st president saying I know he wished he could come too but
he's not moving around much these days but his spirit and heart is here former
President Jimmy Carter also 93 and has experienced health challenges sent his
regrets former President Bill Clinton like
George W Bush made the journey to Charlotte on Tuesday Clinton told
reporters that he first heard Graham preach in Little Rock Arkansas when the
future politician was an eleven-year-old boy he said meeting him later as an
adult was one of the most memorable events of his life
Clinton noted that Graham demanded that his 1959 Little Rock Crusade be
integrated and threatened to pull out when city leaders resisted the pastor
also became a strong supporter of dr. Martin Luther King jr. s fight for
racial equality the ground at the foot of the cross is level and it touches my
heart when I see whites standing shoulder to shoulder with blacks at the
cross Graham said The Associated Press reported on Monday that Obama is not
planning to attend memorial services for the late evangelist Reverend Billy
Graham this week as previously stated it comes as no big shock that Barack Obama
would not attend the funeral services and to be perfectly honest why would he
for years Obama mocked the Christian faith with his attitude and
administrative policies that created tremendous disrespect toward Christians
and that is not about to change after Graham's death it is evident to the
world that Obama only cares about one thing and that is his legacy and he is
not about to let Graham overshadow him at least Graham will be laid to rest
surrounded by people that honor and respect him and not have someone attend
his services that could care less about the Christian faith thanks for watch
