SAN FRANCISCO (YBH.ME) – Overnight Sunday, Facebook users were able to participate in a user-generated poll asking “should Obama be killed?” Possible answers were “yes,” “maybe,” “no,” and “if he cuts my health care.”

Reports surfaced early Monday suggesting the poll was removed from Facebook at Secret Service’s request. According to a posting by someone claiming to be the application’s developer, Facebook didn’t just have the offending poll removed, but rather disabled the polling application entirely.

Meanwhile, a blogger who contacted authorities concerning the poll claims a Secret Service investigation into the identity of the Facebook user behind the poll is underway.
