Obama's "Organizing For Action" quickly granted tax exempt status, also granted retro active status

With conservative groups taking years to get approval, the IRS gave Obama's group approval at amazing speed and did so retroactively.  From Breitbart.com:

the group’s 990 filings for 2008 and 2009 were submitted to the IRS on May 30, 2011, and its 2010 filing was submitted on May 23, 2011.
Lerner signed the group’s approval [pdf] on June 26, 2011.
It is illegal to operate for longer than 27 months without an IRS determination and solicit tax-deductible contributions. . . . .
