| Tax-exempt Champ Foundation doesnÂ’t exist at listed addresses |
| 2013-05-21 |
| The “charity” run by The Champ's half-brother that was fast-tracked for IRS tax-exempt status is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. Essentially an Accommodation Address. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based. The Champ Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of The Champ. As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. (RELATED: IRS official Lerner speedily approved exemption for The Champ's brother’s ‘charity’) The charity was even given retroactive tax-exempt status despite never having bothered to apply for it. And its history of soliciting donations before receiving tax-exempt status was apparently overlooked. Retroactive, no problem, it's the very least we could do for our people. The address listed on the site barackhobamafoundation.org is 107 S. West St. #401, Alexandria, Va., which houses a UPS store on a street that includes a tailor, a Catholic Charities thrift shop and a Gold Works jewelry store. “They probably just rent a mailbox here or receive mail here,” said a UPS employee when asked if the store was the address for the The Champ Foundation. She did not know if Malik Obama, who his website says divides his time between Kenya and Virginia, had been in to the store. A visit to the UPS store revealed that there is a mailbox numbered 401. |

| #5 Oh, goody - something new to add to the lower right portion of "the bracket": http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/351/scandalbracket.png For a guy whose entire political rise was based on uncovering and publicizing unsavory details about his opponents' private lives, Obama sure has a lot of unsavory stuff just millimeters below his carapace. |

| #4 Been to that UPS store many times, when I lived a few blocks away. It's TINY. In a pricey part of town. A pricey, leftist part of town. A P.O. box is ok for a mailing address, but there has to be an actual address for a principal officer. So, Abongo filed while he was in drug rehab? I find that . . . curious. |
