Was Paul out of line with this quip?
Yes. It is disrespectful to criticize a president while at the White House, regardless of who it is.
Should he apologize?
No. It was meant to be humorous and forced apologies are meaningless blather and rarely sincere. Besides, we have free speech here. (I'm also a libertarian and wouldn't impose on anyone's first amendment rights)

All of the available evidence suggests that the last time all four Beatles were together in one place was on August 20, 1969; the occasion as to oversee the final mixes of Abbey Road.
