After reading the following Daily Mail report, Derek Bennett of Walsall, England wrote: The land of the free - only if you agree! Mr. Bennett, that sounds good but it ain’t true. In our country we have the right to express our disagreements with Mr. Obama, but no one has the right to send him threatening e-mails. And we have every right to ban a foreigner who insulted our president just as your country would have the right to ban an American who insulted the Queen.
While I disagree with most of Obama’s domestic and foreign policies, he is still my president and he deserves to be treated civilly.
BRITISH TEENAGER BANNED FROM AMERICA FOR LIFE AFTER SENING BARACK OBAMA ABUSIVE EMAIL
Mail Online
September 14, 2010
A British teenager has been banned from America for life for sending Barack Obama an abusive email, in which he calls the President a punk.
Luke Angel, 17, insulted Mr Obama while drunk after watching a programme about the 9/11 attacks on the U.S.
Angel was reprimanded by police on both sides of the Atlantic after firing off the message to the White House.
The FBI intercepted the message and contacted police in the UK who went to see Mr Angel at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire.
The college student is now on a list of people who are banned from visiting the States.
The teenager told the Bedfordshire On Sunday newspaper that he had sent the email after watching a TV programme about September 11.
When asked about the ban, Luke said: 'I don't really care. My parents aren't very happy about it.
'The police who came round took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever.'
A Bedfordshire Police spokesman said: 'The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language.
'We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, "Oh dear, it was me".'
Officers will take no criminal action.
