He played nice with Obama because with Billy Graham's age making him less able to be in the limelight, Rick saw what he hoped would be a role to fill as, "America's Pastor," the way Billy did. Billy, for whatever praise or criticism you want to hang on him, enjoyed being the unofficial pastor to the president since at least the 60s and sucked up to whomever was in office at the time. With the field already littered with nutjob pastors hating on the POTUS, his voice would be lost amongst the crazier voices if he went down that path hence trying to be America's Pastor.
