This is completely ridiculous. I heard something on the news about it saying that some Facebook user put it up and it was taken down by Facebook soon thereafter. I guess the secret service is looking into it, but many people already had responded to the poll. I realize everyone has a different take on politics and how we view our president, but it is a 100% different story when you are discussing murdering someone! Whoever did this was extremely stupid and naive to think that there would be no repercussions discussing threatening the life of our president.

I don't know too. I thought Obama won by a landslide, how come people hate him now? If they didn't like him, they shouldn't have voted for him. And if they have voted for him, it means they like how he runs things. I just don't get it why people hate him all of a sudden.

Who KNOWS! People are crazy! LOL. I can understand being upset with the president of the United States on occasion - as they have very much power in their hands..But saying you want to KILL him? That's definitely overboard, if you ask me! I can't ever imagine wanting to KILL someone. That's such a horrendous thought to have, isn't it?
And can't the FBI get involved with this kind of thing? LOL It sounds crazy, but I heard that any time someone mentions killing the president on the internet.. homeland security has to get involved. Or something. Have you heard that?

ya i heard the federal and the secret service agents have started the investigation has started.I heard that they have closed the poll. I bet it was the work done by a prankster and he must be shaking after hearing Federal and secret service agents would be behind him.

Well this poll was put on facebook but once it gained publicity it was immediately taken down. Before coming to power Obama had promised miracles but now when it comes to implementing what he said, he kinda lags behind. Mebbe thats the reason someone wanted to kill him. But i believe people must give obama sometime. Given the mess the country is in, its very difficult for things to be back to normalcy within couple of years. But the focus of Obama should be more on National issues rather than funding Pakistan - which redirects the money to terrorists. The war on terror would be much easier without pakistani influence!
