I wonder if he had said the same, if a Russian had been standing outside the US embassy in Moscow shouting "Obama is a f---cker".

In London, you can't get anywhere near the US embassy to protest, or security policy will pick you up and you will end up on watch lists.
If somebody in London went and tried to shout "Obama is a f---cker" outside the US embassy, he'd go to prison.
