It's good to be the king's brother

Obama's half-brother that operated illegally for years... meaning Obama's brother never paid taxes on contributions
Got full tax exempt status within a month
And the full exemption was made retroactive meaning he got a pass.

Not a smidgen of corruption
-- Barack Obama

Can you imagine if a conservative would have operated illegal for years like Obama's brother? They would have been thrown in jail and had to pay huge fines. Since it's Obama's brother he got a pass and his application was fast track (one month) with full exempt status backtracking to 2008 when Obama got elected.

We couldn't have Obama's brother in jail for tax evasion could we now?

That seems to be the issue with the right-wing complainer. "The IRS (supposed to be non-partisan) is a very powerful and can ruin lives even when there was no wrong doing," she said.

To answer this question. In two words Hell No. Cannot imagine a conservative like Obama's brother getting away with this.

In politics there is a saying do as we say not as we do. Do as we do and be a conservative, there will be hell to pay.

We have to get Obama's secret dictionary and look up the latest revision to the definition of 'smidgen'.

No one knows what the media created 'great orator' actually means. Apparently the ability to communicate has notheing to to do with the fantasy of being a 'great orator'.

Corruption: Illegitimate use of public power to benefit a private interest.

No doubt, if a conservative did what Obama's brother did they would be in jail for tax evasion. It took some conservative groups 3 years to get tax exempt status.

Obama's brother (private interest) was given tax exempt status in a month and retroactively since he was illegally taking "tax exempt" contribution since 2008 (the year Obama was elected)

Obama said there isn't one smidgen of corruption?

This would be more believable if the IRS hadn't already admitted the wrongdoing. Since they have, what you said sounds pretty stupid.

The net has been cast and fish are caught. Now it is time to gut and clean them, so we the people can throw then in the frying pan.
