With some "prophets," it's all one in the same!
(Joseph Smith was arrested in the 1820s for "glass looking" -- a 19th century term for treasure-seekers who would defraud others in the process...Smith made more of a lifestyle that was underwrote by his supporters from 'religion' than he ever did 'treasure-seeking'/glass-looking)
Smith ran a sizeable rooming house and had a larger house built for him (with his own private bar...see Mormon Truth!! October 8, 2005 log re: account from Joseph Smith's own son).
By April 11, 1844, he had himself pronounced "King" [On April 11, at a meeting of the Fifty, Joseph was secretly “chosen as our Prophet, Priest and King by Hosannas.” The Council performed an ordinance “in which Joseph suffered himself to be ordained a king, to reign over the house of Israel forever.” -- Citizen Smith]...
...and he was running for President of the United States!
Are you sure Obama isn't secretly a mormon elder?
According to Fawn Brodie, it wasn't a private bar. Quite the opposite, Joseph turned his mansion in Nauvoo into a public saloon for a short time. Emma returned from an out-of-town trip and was appalled to find the enterprise in high gear in the downstairs rooms of her house. She ordered the tavern closed immediately on the grounds that it was no way for a prophet to act. Joseph protested that the liquor sales were bringing in more money than anything else he had ever done. Emma stood firm and then threatened to move out with the children, presumably to Joseph's nearby hotel. Faced with the loss of both his family and extended family, Joseph relented.
