It seems that the health care issue has evoked feverish odium towards the U.S. president Barack Obama in addition to the already existing racist vision towards him.
Through one of the new media outlets which crossed 300 million users, a poll was launched out to the world as it was posted to Facebook through a third-party application, and has gone so far as to draw the attention of the US Secret Service.

The poll asked respondents "Should Obama be killed?" The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.

The poll was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence. But, like any threat against the president, Secret Service agents are taking no chances.

A facebook official said: ""All of this anti-Obama rage is pure racism of Americans."

The application will remain disabled until the developer assures Facebook that the controversial survey has been removed and there are policies and procedures for handling such concerns in the future, according to Barry Schnitt, Facebook's spokesman for policy.
