Secret Service Investigates Facebook Poll on Obama Assassination

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating a user-generated Facebook poll Monday after a blogger took screen shots of it and encouraged readers to report it. The poll asked if "Obama should be killed" and offered several responses, including "if he cuts my health care." After hearing from the Secret Service, Facebook disabled the "Polls" application, an add-on created by a third-party developer. The developer responded to the blogger who reported the incident, saying he deletes hateful polls as quickly as possible.
