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

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.....

Stick, wrong end, got, completely - rearrange, please....

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

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.
