Franklin Graham apologizes for questioning Obama's faith

The Rev. Franklin Graham, under pressure from faith groups, apologized for suggesting that President Obama is not a Christian:

“I regret any comments I have ever made which may have cast any doubt on the personal faith of our president, Mr. Obama,” Graham said in a statement on Tuesday, according to the Religious News Service.

“I apologize to him and to any I have offended for not better articulating my reason for not supporting him in this election — for his faith has nothing to do with my consideration of him as a candidate,” he added.

Graham caused a stir earlier this month when he said hedged on whether Obama was a Christian in an MSNBC appearance — but had no problem identifying Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as Catholics.

He shouldn't have apologized.Period.
The truth isn't always pleasant,especially when you're 0bama,but it is necessary.
Franklin Graham is a courageous and principled man,and a wonderful testament to the love and saving grace of God.That being said,he could have made the point he wasn't supporting the zero regime without apologizing.
