Description:
LDS pollster Dan Jones: "Pres. Monson wants to get across to the people of the United States and the world that we want our president to succeed."
Mormon Church leaders presented President Barack Obama with a detailed family tree in five leather-bound volumes Monday during a private meeting in the Oval Office.
The 30-minute sit-down was the first time Obama has met with Thomas S. Monson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Monson was escorted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the highest ranking Mormon in the government, and LDS Apostle Dallin Oaks, the chairman of the faith's genealogical committee.
President Barack Obama met with Senator Harry Reid, Joshua DuBois, President Thomas S. Monson and Apostle Dallin H. Oaks in the Oval Office. Michelle Obama met with Mormon Apostles Quentin L. Cook and M. Russell Ballard in Salt Lake City last year.
Obama's White House continues a tradition of meeting with the Mormon leadership.
While the Mormon membership continues to disproportionately disapprove of Obama's presidency.
