Poll asking if Obama should be killed has been pulled, probed

A survey that asked Facebook users if President Barack Obama should be assassinated has been removed.

The survey, which was posted Saturday by an independent person using a third-party application, has led to a Secret Service probe, the Associated Press reported.

According to the wire service:

The poll asked respondents “Should Obama be killed?” The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.

The Secret Service said Monday that they are taking the potential threat against the president seriously.
