Obama cancels Saturday visit in deference to Hinckley funeral
Obama, one of the top candidates for the Democratic nomination for president, was expected to come Saturday for a rally in Salt Lake City. The campaign, however, released a statement Tuesday morning announcing the cancellation of the visit.
"Last night I spoke with President Thomas Monson and expressed my deepest sympathies to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley," Obama said in the statement.
