Obama is spending the night in Utah, home of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during a short domestic trip
to highlight economic issues that included an earlier stop in
Kentucky.
"The president is pleased to meet with top LDS leaders as so
many presidents before him have done," White House spokesman
Eric Schultz said in a statement.
"The leaders will discuss the need to forge more common ground
across differences and to promote service to our neighbors, both
in our own country and around the world."
This is Obama's first trip to Utah as U.S. president.
Church leaders who were at the meeting included President Henry
Eyring, President Dieter Uchtdorf, Elder Tom Perry and Elder
Todd Christofferson, the White House said.
