WASHINGTON -- The Secret Service has determined that a juvenile was behind the online survey that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated, an agency spokesman said Thursday.
No criminal charges will be filed against the juvenile or the juvenile's parents, spokesman Edwin Donovan said. Donovan would not identify the names of the child or parents or say where they are from.
The poll, posted Saturday on Facebook, 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 took no chances.
The poll asked respondents "Should Obama be killed?" The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.
What's the fuss? This behavior and worse was perfectly ok when Bush was pres.
Double standards?
Hypocrites?
YES TO BOTH!
Sorry to hear it was a kid that was having those kind of thoughts cause it makes me think he/she is hearing alot of crap from the parents. Many people say those kinds of things in passing or out of frustration. The SS is ust doing their job but some see it as an invasion of their privacy.
Dave...if this was in regards to President Bush or Christians he would have already received apl of his grant request from the NEA(Rich...that stands for National Endowment of the Arts)
The investigation is complete and a threat assessment has determined that President Obama is the object of a naive pollster. So what else is new right? Well I'm a little curious about the whole setup. Might the idea possibly be retaliation to a pimp, a prostitute, and bad advise from an angry oak seed? Sure would like to know that little brats profile.
