There are over 60 reasons for which a person can be barred entry from the United States, and British teenager Luke Angel discovered at least one of them. While drinking and watching a TV program about September 11, something stirred in Angel and he rushed to his laptop, drunk-writing an email to the President of the United States, Barack Obama. Among other things in the letter full of abusive language, Luke Angel called Barack Obama “a prick” and is now banned from the United States for life.
That letter ended up in the hands of the FBI, and down came the hammer. “I don’t remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk,” the teenager 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. The police who came ‘round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever.”
As befitting someone with that attitude, Angel is nonplussed about being banned like a Man U jersey in Malaysia. “I don’t really care,” he said, but “my parents aren’t very happy about it.”
