He certainly has the right to call Obama whatever he pleases. You know, free speech and all (do you guys have that in the UK?) I also believe the best comedy is at least a tiny bit offensive. Some of the best is very offensive indeed.
That said what the comedian named him is just not funny. Maybe it would go over better with me if I heard it in the context of his comedy routine.
