Both Bill and Hillary Clinton were sitting with him on stage in Flushing Meadows when Graham greeted them as his "wonderful friends of many years." "I told him," Graham said of President Clinton, "when he left the presidency, he should become an evangelist, because he had all the gifts." Graham paused, and added with a smile, "And he could [let] his wife run the country."
That remark caused such a furor in some quarters that Graham's evangelist son Franklin had to explain that it was meant as a joke.
But Graham had praised and defended both Clintons before. And in a new interview, Hillary

Is that a quote from Caiaphas? "These" hucksters?
Yeah, actually I can imagine that. My first thought when Slick Willy popped onto the scene was now there’s the ultimate used car salesman.
I question Billy Graham’s spirit of discernment. If he cannot discern evil, liars, greed, lust, cheats, and darkness in these two creatures belched forth from the bowels of hell, then tell me how he is led by God. The hair on the back of his neck should stand up when he’s next to them. Something is wrong here. Either Graham has been fooled by the clintons, or we have been fooled by Graham. I stand by my opinion.
Very true...I never thought about it but you are right...
He is a charismatic speaker. He can also be charming. He chose to use that to serve “self” and not God. The proof is that he did NOTHING for our country but millions still worship the Clintons. Everyone has gifts and abilities. God lets us chose who we use them for and who we serve, Him or self. Clinton chose self.
Now that I think about it, bill may have been calling on his “god” the day he said, “It depends on what the meaning of Isis”.
Yeah, Bill could help unwed mothers get their start.
Oh nooo. That’s Paul & Jan Crouch of TBN & “Praise the Lord”. But don’t feel bad. I once thought Bob Tilton was a comedian doing a parody of TV evangelists the first time I saw him. I yelled for everybody to run to the TV because “this guy’s good!” LOL.
Take away the hair style and the fancy suits and Bill is just the village BS artist glad-handing people for drinks at the local tavern.
Amen Brother,I have thought this for a long time.Isn’t there a comment by Graham from the Lewinski debacle about Bill Clinton having “manly urges”(?).
My guess: the latter.
Rev. Bill led me to Xenu, back in '86
How dare Billy Graham speak to me of evil, lies, treachery, and lost souls, when he's seated next to the two poster children of Hell's Heroes. And praises them. And seeks to testify to us of their goodness. Woe to those who would call good evil, and evil good.
Bill Clinton praying to the god of bra straps.
I truly believe the evangelist/gifts statement was tongue-in-cheek. That said, however, Billy Graham votes Democratic — he is a registered Democrat, if I remember correctly.
I respect Graham also. I simply ignore anything he says about any politician. He is capable of finding something charitable to say about anyone, even the baby-killers like the Rapist and his consort.
John Paul II was, I am convinced, was like that—too holy for his own good. He was a great mystic. I am sure he is a saint already. A certain Cardinal told a friend of mine that JPII believed anything a Cardinal said to his face. No matter how much evidence there was that the man was a liar. The Pope simply could not believe that a Cardinal would lie to him. And of course, he was wrong.
If you “like” Robert Tilton, you MUST, absolutely MUST look up “the farting preacher” on YouTube. It doesn’t sound like a clever idea, but it’s absolute genius. There are a bunch of them. Number Four is the best of the bunch.
