UK Teenager Banned From America For Life Over Obscene Obama Email

[alienlovechild 75]

A British teenager who sent an email to the White House calling President Obama an obscenity was banned from America for life, The Sun reported Monday.

The FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, his drunken insult was "unacceptable."

Angel said he fired off a single email criticizing the U.S. government after seeing a TV program about the 9/11 attacks.

He said, "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly -- the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."

Angel, of Bedford, in central England, said it was "a bit extreme" for the FBI to act. "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy."

A Bedford Police spokesman confirmed they had spoken to Angel about the email. Officers will take no criminal action.

Joanne Ferreira, of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred from visiting America.

Man that Barry has thin skin. He decriminalizes illegal immigrants and then bans a 17 y/o kid because he called Obama a punk in an email. Wow.

Maybe it's in response to the UK's ban on Michael Savage.

Hmmm, I wonder what happens to US Citizens who send an e-mail calling him a dumb #### mother-######?

I've heard similar things happening during the Bush years. In other words its something in the culture of American law enforcement.

It's very obvious what happens, but just in case that isn't a rhetorical question, they get assigned an FBI number and are scrutinezed much more closely when marginal events happen throughout their life. May not get you thrown in jail, but you'll never get the benefit of the doubt from law enforcement.

Given the double-entendre, I'll take that as a sarky "yes".
