Obama Skips Billy Graham Funeral | The Daily Caller: "Earlier this week, a spokesperson for Barack Obama notified the press that the former president would not be attending any of the memorial services for legendary evangelical minister Billy Graham.
There was no specific reason given for Obama’s absence.
...President Obama made one surprise public appearance this week.
The former president attended a community meeting of southside neighborhood residents in Chicago to assure them that the Obama Presidential Library would not impede or “gentrify” their neighborhood, according to the Chicago Tribune.
...the former president tweeted this upon the news of Billy Graham’s death:
Billy Graham was a humble servant who prayed for so many - and who, with wisdom and grace, gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans.
Obama was not the only former president who did not personally pay his respects to the Billy Graham family.

Both Carter and Bush Sr. are 93 years old and have been dealing with severe health issues over the past years."
