The Secret Service is investigating a Facebook Poll asking people if they would like to kill President Obama.
"We are aware of it and we will take the appropriate investigative steps," said Darrin Blackford, a Secret Service spokesman. "We take of these things seriously."
The poll asked Facebook Users "Should Obama be killed?" The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.
Facebook has made it clear that they did not create the poll, and that it was created in an application used by a third party.
"The third-party application that enabled an individual user to create the offensive poll was brought to our attention this morning," said Barry Schnitt, Facebook's spokesman for policy.
"We're working with the U.S. Secret Service, but they'll need to provide any details of their investigation," Schnitt said.
