Banned for life from the USA
 
How petty can you get ,i doubt Obama knows anything about this but it does show how paranoid the FBI are now

Quote:

Luke Angel was reprimanded by police on both sides of the Atlantic after firing off a drunken message to the White House calling the president a "p****".
The FBi intercepted the message and contacted police in the UK who went to see the 17-year-old at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire.
Luke, a college student, is now on a list of people who are banned from visiting the States.

Hmm..insult leader of a country..and they ban you..seems reasonable

Some countries would jail you..or worse. Try doing that in Iran..actually..i think quite a few countries would take a dim view of being insulted.

A bit more to the story

The individual had sent an email to the White House which was full of abusive and threatening language," a police spokesperson told the British newspaper, Bedfordshire On Sunday
Hopefully, this has been a learning experience for the young man.....

It's not the FBI who look after the President's security, it's the Treasury Department, Secret Service section.

"I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk," he told The Sun. "But I think I called Barack Obama a pr---. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."

His e-mail, however, was brought to the attention of government officials who didn't find it quite so funny.

"The police who came ‘round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever," the 17-year-old said.

But the young man was apparently not upset over his being shunned by a country.

"I don't really care," he said, but "my parents aren't very happy about it."


hahaha

Although the Secret Service was moved to the (then) newly-created Department of Homeland Security in 2003 ;) :)

As someone pointed out in the comments section of the skynews story

Quote:

Let's hope Abu Hamza doesn't hear this story.
He would only have to send Obama an email of abuse to be banned from the US for life. Cunning plan...

Well, I didn't know that - never too old to learn.

Thank you, kind sir.
