The 'Kill Obama?' Facebook poll is no joke for the Secret Service

Updated

The creator of the Facebook third-party application at the center of a Secret Service investigation is Jesse Farmer, a computer programmer and entrepreneur living in Palo Alto, California, DailyFinance has learned.

The Secret Service is investigating after someone posted a poll using an application created by Farmer asking, "Should Obama be killed?" The possible answers were "no," "maybe," yes," and "yes if he cuts my health care." Facebook quickly yanked the poll Monday -- and the Secret Service may be quickly yanking some moron out of bed early this morning.
