Franklin Graham on Obama, Palin and Donald Trump
by Joseph Ernest April 26, 2011
Newscast Media -- In an ABC interview, Franklin Graham said Sunday that the nation is in big trouble under the leadership of President Obama and that he is having an increasingly positive view of billionaire Donald Trump running for president as he hears more from him.
"Obama is a very nice man and very gracious," said Graham to Christiane Amanpour. "But I think our country is in big trouble," said Graham, the president/CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse.
When asked whether Trump was justified in asking Obama to produce his birth certificate, Graham said, "I don't know why he can’t produce that birth certificate. I don't know, but it's an issue that looks like he could answer pretty quickly."
Graham also finds himself gravitating toward Donald Trump, and has described him as "very capable" and someone who has "proven himself."
"Donald Trump, when I first saw that he was getting in, I thought, well, this has got to be a joke. But the more you listen to him, the more you say to yourself, you know? Maybe the guy’s right," said Graham.
Graham in the ABC interview also questioned Obama's definition of Christian, saying for Obama a Christian might be simply someone that goes to church.
"For me, the definition of a Christian is whether we have given our life to Christ and are following him in faith, and we have trusted him as our Lord and Savior," said Graham. "That's the definition of a Christian, it' not as to what church you're a member of. A membership doesn't make you a Christian." Add Comments>>
