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."

Uh, okay.

Is there some reason we should care about this, Darrin? Why did you post it?

CC told on him and had Kori ban him from the US.

Why are you even on SpursTalk? You (obviously) never even post outside of the political forum. Why join a sports site to debate politics ad nauseam?

was this guy a tea pottier?

Typical Republican, they don't like to leave their little "safety zone".

lol, good point. More like get rolled.

That's a fucked up reason to ban someone from traveling here.

Fucking White House pussies.

You don't even know what he wrote.

And lol if you think the White House ordered that.

@WC:

If you sent the Queen of England an email calling her a b!tch, the result might be much the same.

You must be very butthurt to find this so gripeworthy, but I thank you for giving us such a good hint as to why DarrinS posted it in the first place. :tu

Does England have the same freedom of speech that we do? Now if he threatened the president, that would be different. He said what's on his mind. If we ever got to thought crimes, how many people would be banned?

For the leader of the free world, this is absolutely unforgivable.

he called him a prick?

how is that an obscenity?
