MYFOXNY.COM - The United States Secret Service, which is in charge of protecting the president, is investigating a Facebook poll that surfaced over the weekend asking people if President Obama should be killed, the AP reports.
The poll was posted Saturday, but Facebook quickly pulled it after officials were told about it. An independent person created and posted the poll through an add-on app, Facebook officials said.
As seen in a screenshot of posted on the Huffington Post, the poll asked "should obama be killed?" with the choices: "yes," "maybe," "if he cuts my health care," and "no." Hundreds of people answered the poll before it was taken down.
