Facebook Presidential Poll Pulled
September 29, 2009 • By Chrisnatha Derosier

A Facebook poll that posed whether or not President Obama should be killed was removed Monday, September 28.

The United States Secret Service sent an email to Facebook administrators regarding the matter. Officials were told that it had already been removed.

"As is usually the case, our vigilant users reported it to us first," Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt told CNN.

Third party developers are allowed to create applications which give Facebook users freedom to create their own polls. The responses to this particular poll were "yes," "no," "maybe," and "if he cuts my health care."

According to Barry Shnitt, it appears that the poll was posted over the weekend of September 26.

The U.S. Secret Service has launched an investigation, agency spokesman James Mackin said.
