think about it....a triangle has all 3 angles, when added, equal to 180 degrees....if one angle is a right angle (90 degrees). that would mean the other 2 angles have to add up to 90 degrees. An obtuse angle is more then 90 degrees. So ur answer is No....a right triangle can never have an obtuse angle.
