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.

She said, "We are prohibited from discussing specific cases."

Here's an interesting comment.

A true statesman would fly the young man over to Washington and by example show him how he was wrong. A puppet tyrant on the other hand would ban the young man from America for life and confirm the young man's original inpression; that Barack Obama is a pr**k!!!!

Stupid bullshit all around, but this is the way the country is trending.

I bet there was more to it than only calling Obama a prick.

That's an everyday greeting in Bedford.

Forza freedom of speech! Only if it involves a Qura'an burning then it's considered a constitutional right

Maybe so, but nothing else was really done about it.

Maybe death threats? If so, you'd expect a little more than just the local police showing up at your door.

This guy said something outside the US and is not a US citizen, as far as I know.

The US Constitutional, therefore, has nothing to do with this case.

Death threats would be the obvious thing.

I don't know if accusing the US Government of being behind the attacks or celebrating the attacks would be enough for action to be taken?

"I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk."

And has no record of outbound email. Frankly, we only have this kid's word that he did nothing more than call Obama a prick. I don't know that even a death threat would actually warrant the reaction he's gotten, but I'd lay odds on him having said more than prick.

Indeed.

Death threats would be the obvious thing.

You never know these days.

If people who question 9/11 are to be banned from the US, then Japan's former Prime Minister Fukuda better face the same fate as this kid.

So unless you're American you can't speak your mind in America? Well that's a new one. And I thought it was the land of the free speech regardless of the nationality..

Then you also have this.

And who exactly did you hear publicizing Saudi Arabia for being the most democratic and freedom caring nation in the word?

Give him the PM Miyazawa treament!

A bit extreme but good on Obama.

To be fair though, no other president of the USA has had a whole broadcasting/"news" organization twisting and manipulating everything he has said/done since he's been in power.

It's about time he turned it the fuck up.

A teenager from Bedfordshire has been banned from entering the United States for life for sending a "threatening" e-mail to the White House.

Luke Angel, 17, of Silsoe, was investigated after he expressed his dislike of President Barack Obama and the US Government.

Bedfordshire police, who then visited Luke, said the e-mail was full of abusive and threatening language.

He can have no complaints if he was making threats to America/Obama.

It usually is. But we don't have a copy of the email now do we. So we can only assume that his rights are being infringed upon because he's totally innocent. Oh and he was even taken to jail too right? No he wasn't. He was banned from the US, that's not a big deal to a citizen of the UK. Quit blowing things out of proportion you don't know about out of proportion (goes to everyone).

By the way, the Koran burner had the right to burn Korans the same as the KKK has the right to burn crosses. However, facing implications due to the unpopularity of the event across the majority of the country he decided not to burn the Koran. That my friend is freedom of speech at work.
