IRS official Lerner speedily approved exemption for Obama brother’s ‘charity’
The Daily Caller ^ | 05/14/2013 | Charles C. Johnson

Posted on 05/14/2013 5:12:15 PM PDT by cutty

Lois Lerner, the senior IRS official at the center of the decision to target tea party groups for burdensome tax scrutiny, signed paperwork granting tax-exempt status to the Barack H. Obama Foundation, a shady charity headed by the president’s half-brother that operated illegally for years.

According to the organization’s filings, Lerner approved the foundation’s tax status within a month of filing, an unprecedented timeline that stands in stark contrast to conservative organizations that have been waiting for more than three years, in some cases, for approval.

Lerner also appears to have broken with the norms of tax-exemption approval by granting retroactive tax-exempt status to Malik Obama’s organization.

Abuse of power is not only to hurt those you don’t like, but to also help those you do...

This makes it official - we’re on the road to being a crappy totalitarian hellhole. Thanks you horrible effing democrats.

How fast was Obamas political campaign, Obama for America (OFA) able to change into Organizing for Action (OFA)?
Organizing for action openly says it is designed to help enact Obamas agenda.
His emblem is on their site.

And yes,, they were immediately able to become a 503c4 tax exempt a week or so after the election.

Thanks you horrible effing democrats.

You can add Boehner to that list. If we had a Speaker with a Warrior mindset we could take on these evil leftists.

I am 100% certain that Boehner will just give lip service to any action.

As of this day, I despise Boehner and the left equally.

America is rapidly acquiring all the hallmarks of a third world hellhole.

In other words, Barack Obama is fundamentally transforming the United States.

Is Obongo even in this country legally? Which father was was he born to? Barrack Hussein Obama’s family is a bunch of trash. They are a bunch a bastards born to a commie whore. (Note admins: I am using the literal definitions of bastard and whore. They are both in the dictionary and they adequately express the sexual relations of Stanley Ann Dunham.)

Boehner is somewhat of a mystery. Perhaps we can borrow his FBI file from the White House and see what they have on him.

The Democrats would politicize a lemonade stand if they had half a chance.

What an astoundingly foolish comment. Is that you Karl?? LOL You have to be delusional not to understand that by not acting Boehner and the GOP-e will be equally as guilty as the left in our Republic's demise.

The GOP-e is much much closer to the left than they are to Conservatives.

He describes Michelle Obama as a “great First Lady”, and what it’s like to visit the White House to see his brother:

‘I see my brother privately at least once a year, when I go to visit him in the White House and say hello. It’s like visiting a working national monument, such as the Smithsonian or Buckingham Palace. But he’s always at the end of a phone line if I want to talk.

‘I last saw him on November 19 last year, shortly after the US election. I went to the White House and offered him my congratulations.

‘We are close but don’t live in each other’s pockets. I don’t have to be at every big party. I’ve not seen Michelle in a while.

I saw her and the children at the last inauguration, but it was very busy, so we didn’t have time to talk. I can’t say that I have a relationship with my nieces.’

He believes that his brother being president hasn’t always been the most positive things for his life, saying that a lot of negativity has come his way:

‘Having a famous brother has made me a target of hatred, racism and bigotry against my religion,’ he says. ‘I recently asked Barack what advice he could give me about dealing with all the negativity.We wonder what advice POTUS gave his bro.
