From my experience the majority of people will tune you out as soon as you start calling Obama "cute" names. Examples are the rockstar, the star, the savior, the king, Nobama, Hussein, the Kenyan, etc. It can be a clue that someone's level of dislike has bypassed the rational. Don't worry though, the majority (though a smaller one in my opinion) of people also tuned out those who used "cute" nicknames for Bush. Examples are shrub, the chimp, the appointee, the war criminal, etc.
Calling Presidents names can be a leading indicator that adult conversation will be damn near impossible.
