When a poll was posted to the popular social networking site Facebook asking if President Obama should be killed, the Secret Service launched an investigation.

Today they announced the results: Turns out a kid was behind the poll. And no criminal charges will be filed against him or his parents, according to the Associated Press, citing a Secret Service spokesman.

The poll, posted to the site over the weekend, asked, "should obama be killed?" The possible answers were "yes," "maybe," "if he cuts my health care" and "no."

At least 730 people took the user-generated poll before it was removed by Facebook. Results were not available because the third-party application used to post the poll was disabled.

Facebook said at the time that the person behind the poll had been banned from using the service.

Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan did not identify the child who posted the poll or release his or her age. He said agents had determined that he or she was not a threat to the president.

"Case closed," Donovan said, according to the AP. "I guess you could characterize it as a mistake."

In an email, Barry Schnitt, Facebook Director of Policy Communications, said, "we commend the Secret Service on their quick and thorough action and have complete confidence in whatever conclusion they have reached as a result."

A LOT of left-wing idiots should now be APOLOGIZING over this, but I won't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

parents are probably democrats

[ConservativeMind]

Judging from the inclusion of the “health care” question, I’d guess the kid was a liberal from a pair of liberal parents.

BINGO!

Oh my goodness, he isn’t even old enough to move to the basement yet.

Is that like a Rush Baby? /s

IF they were liberal parents (no specific evidence of that --) would this be an attempted False Flag operation, with the 'cover' being that "it's only a child"...?

IF so, I'll bet the parents went from smug supercilious masturbation to crapping their pants when the Secret Service knocked on the door.

And IF they were typical liberals, they'd have been most afraid of what *ELSE* the Secret Service might have found on their hard drives, wink wink nudge nudge.

Cheers!

Had the parents been conservative, their political affiliation would have been released. Take a look at all of the "Kill George Bush" groups that are STILL on Facebook. Many have been on there since early 2007. Click here for a list of sites

Did I do That?

No one is curious to discover what the results of the poll were?

One would think that there would rather be a much preferred perp walk of dear leader's whole gang.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Probably an ACORN baby.

[Joe Boucher]

Soooo,
What were the results of the poll?
730 folks participated, how did they feel?

[tcrlaf]

“Probably an ACORN baby.”

MY EXACT THOUGHTS...
One whose pastor or teacher is telling them this crap..

[Perchant]

I don't think some kid is going to put in language about health care. It's probably the work of the parents, who are probably extreme leftists.

The 51 year old white guy who held up the “death to Obama” sign in Maryland weeks ago...still no name for that lefty either.

The only “right wing incident” that included a name was the vandalism at Denver Democrat headquarters. Turned out to be a lefty trying to stage a crime scene that could be pinned on the right, of course.

I guess the kid didn’t take kindly to being forced to watch Obama in school.

Per the Facebook Poll Developer, who ALSO happens to be a frequent KOS poster, (who’d a thunk it), The poll was done by a GIRL....

"Ooooh...you are so grounded!"

Isn’t a 30 y/o lib living in mom’s basement still considered a child?
