Obama Bid Proves a Bit Constricting for One Chicago Nonprofit

by Tom Durso on January 9th, 2008

Yesterday wasn’t the best of days for Barack Obama. Not only did he fail to win the New Hampshire primary, but it was reported that Chicago’s Gene Siskel Film Center has spiked a screening of a documentary about the presidential candidate’s 2006 trip to Africa. The reason? The film center feared that showing the movie could be interpreted as support for Obama, a no-no if it wanted to retain its nonprofit status in the eyes of the IRS. Smart move by the Siskel folks. I think the Obama campaign will survive the postponement. | 501(c)
