-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- What do President Barack Obama , New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have in common ? They all have been the subject of a snide `` prayer '' circulating that seemingly calls for their deaths . A recently created Facebook page reads , `` Dear Lord , this year you took my favorite actor , Patrick Swayzie -LRB- sic -RRB- . You took my favorite actress , Farah -LRB- sic -RRB- Fawcett . You took my favorite singer , Michael Jackson . I just wanted to let you know , my favorite president is Barack Obama . Amen . '' The page has received more than 600,000 `` thumbs-up '' messages of approval since it was posted April 10 . But its owner , who does not disclose his or her identity on the popular social media site , wrote , `` We are not really praying for the death of Obama . It is just some humor to show our disapproval of our current president . '' Similar imprecations were circulating online last year . But Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes said that `` while it may be considered distasteful and objectionable to some , '' the page does n't violate the company 's content policies . `` We 're sensitive to content that includes pornography , bullying , hate speech , and actionable threats of violence , and we react quickly to remove content that violates our policies when it is reported to us , '' Noyes said in a written statement . `` Facebook is highly self-regulating and leverages its more than 400 million users to keep an eye out for offensive content , '' he added . `` We encourage users to report such content , and we have a large team of professional reviewers who evaluate these reports and take action per our policies . '' Variations on the jab have circulated in New Jersey , where teacher 's union officials apologized for a nearly identical memo that substituted Gov. Chris Christie for Obama earlier this month . Christie is locked in a bitter struggle with the New Jersey Education Association over funding for state schools , but union President Barbara Keshishian said , `` Language such as that has no place in civil discourse . '' And in January , hackers posted a similar message on Ahmadinejad 's Web site . `` Dear God , In 2009 you took my favorite singer -- Michael Jackson , my favorite actress -- Farrah Fawcett , my favorite actor -- Patrick Swayze , my favorite voice -- Neda , '' the hackers wrote , the last entry a reference to a young Iranian woman shot and killed during protests over last June 's disputed presidential election . `` Please , please , do n't forget my favorite politician -- Ahmadinejad -- and my favorite dictator -- Khamenei -- in the year 2010 .
