The White House struck back at Christian evangelical leader Franklin Graham on Monday for suggesting that President Barack Obama might not have been born in the United States.

“I was born in a hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, and I know that my records are there. You can probably even go and find out what room my mother was in when I was born. I don’t know why he can’t produce that,” Graham said in remarks broadcast on Sunday.

He also seemed to question Obama’s religious convictions.

“Now, he has told me that he is a Christian. But the debate comes, what is a Christian?” Graham said of the president.

“For him, going to church means he’s a Christian. For me, the definition of a Christian is whether we have given our life to Christ and are following him in faith and we have trusted him as our lord and savior.”

“I think it’s unfortunate that a religious leader would choose Easter Sunday to make preposterous charges,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
