irsThe IRS is investigating Barack Obama’s United Church of Christ over a speech he gave to its national meeting last year after he became a candidate for president. The IRS says the speech violated restrictions on political activity for nonprofit groups. The denomination denies any wrongdoing saying he was speaking as a church member and not a political candidate. The Illinois church has taken numerous controversial positions including being Afro-American centric and bestowing its highest honor on ascerbic Muslim activist Louis Farrakhan.

Critics say the IRS’ investigation is politically motivated.
