White House spokesperson Bill Burton described Graham as "an important spiritual leader to past presidents" and "a real treasure to our country."
If this news was not sufficiently disturbing, President Obama also met with Franklin Graham, now notorious for being uninvited to speak at a recent Pentagon event.
In 2001, the younger Graham described Islam as evil. More recently, he has said he finds Islam offensive and wants Muslims to know that Jesus Christ died for their sins.I am very disappointed with President Obama today.
