The IRS is investigating Barack Obama’s denomination over one of his speeches. The agency has told the United Church of Christ that is looking into whether Obama's speech at the denomination’s 2007 General Synod violated tax rules last June in Hartford, Connecticut. If UCC is found to have engaged in political activities, it could jeopardize its tax-exempt status. During the speech, Obama spoke against the war in Iraq and promised to sign a universal health care bill.
