Abon’go “Roy’ Malik Obama, Barack Obama’s half-brother and paranymph at Barack’s wedding, runs a “charity” that was granted tax-exempt status by Lois Lerner within a month of applying. Indeed, the stonewalling, 5th Amendment-pleading Lerner was so thrilled to be able to help out a member of the First Family that she even backdated the data to insure the tax-exempt status retroactively. Pretty good “customer service” when the normal waiting period for apolitical applications is about 10 months, and for conservatively-themed groups, anywhere from 3 years to infinity.
