Obama Pays His First Visit to Billy Graham, Prays With Him
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyPresident Obama had his first meeting with Rev. Billy Graham on Sunday, stopping at the Blue Ridge Mountains retreat of the 91-year old evangelist on his way to West Virginia to eulogize the 29 coal miners who died there. "The President had a private prayer and conversation with Rev. Graham," said White House spokesman Bill Burton. "He is extraordinarily gratified that he took the time to meet with him."

Sarah Palin's Early Christmas Gift: A Free Ride on Franklin Graham's Charity Jet

McCain Makes Pilgrimage to Grahams' Home
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailySen. John McCain, struggling to connect with conservative evangelical voters, paid a visit on two of the most influential and respected religious leaders in the Christian community today. He met with Rev. Billy Graham and the heir to his evangelical association, Rev. Franklin Graham, at the Grahams' family compound in North Carolina today. McCain needs to hold on to evangelicals, traditionally Republican voters, to win the White House. But he has not been fully embraced by them, and has even seen some resistance to his campaign from powerful Christian conservatives like Dr. James Dobson, the ...
