Pres. Monson met Pres. Obama today and gave him his genealogy. Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV and a Church member) joined them. UPDATE: Church Public Affairs put out a news release with more information on the meeting here.
These meetings are mostly photo ops, but it is important (and an honor) for the prophet to meet the president. The Church has provided genealogy to all of the recent presidents.
Anybody interested in the relationships between Church leaders and the leaders of the free world should read “Presidents and Prophets.” I reviewed the book here.
