Could you please make a list of things that Obama has done wrong?
Took a robust public option off the health care reform table and pushed through a bill centered around a mandate to buy private health insurance.
Didn't push for a large enough stimulus package to combat the stagnant economy.
Not closing Gitmo.
Expanding electronic surveillance and the collection of meta-data.
Answering a question from a teabagger about "teabaggers" using the language of the question - "teabaggers" - is neither uncivil nor something Obama has done wrong.
The article contains a picture of what is alleged to be the note from Obama. No one in the press will ever ask him abut this, so we won't get to hear what he says, but I would guess that either he doesn't know that the term is offensive, or he hates the Tea Party so much he does it on purpose. He does not see himself as the president of the entire country but only those who support him.

That is a weak list as #1 wouldn't have passed, probably not #2 either, #3 isn't really his fault, and #4 is.
However, out of the several dozen things you could have listed, you at least didn't give zero...you are the first Obama supporter to at least answer with something when I ask.
If you think it is okay for Obama to call for civility from Republicans, but refuse to call out his own party and then partake in it himself...then fine let Obama be a hypocrite...
Just a short list of Obama acting as Bush III
Under Obama we have seen:
Afghanistan Escalated ~75% of the deaths on his watch.
Drone bases expanded with more drones over more countries and more civilian deaths.
Bush's Iraq withdrawal timeline, except Obama tried to extend it and left far more people there.
Increased lobbyists in WH.
Increased earmarks after Obama blasted Bush for them and promised to reduce them by veto if necessary.
NSA.
Patriot Act.
More no-bid contracts than Bush.
No-bid contracts to Halliburton, something he specifically promised not to do.
Bombed more countries.
Flip flopped on whether he needed congress to bomb countries that weren't posing a threat.
Violated the war powers act by bombing after 60 days without going to congress.
Has done more signing statements than Bush after saying he wouldn't do any.
Lied about his own mother's death and continued to do so after getting caught. Scumbag move?
Obama said he would replace too big to fail...his new system has the same thing.
Torture - still happens...we just fly them to where it is legal to torture and have them do it.
Spying on citizens...
Fast and Furious...
Regressive taxes...payroll reduction was made up for with fees on middle and lower income fannie and freddie loans.
What ELSE are you going to call someone covered in teabags besides a teabagger?
What ELSE are you going to call someone carrying a 'I'm Teabagging For Jesus!' sign?
If it`s covered in teabags and carrying an 'I'm teabagging' sign, then it's a teabagger.
That's like saying what else are you going to call a black person besides a "N".
I guess you don't mind using derogatory terms for people, as long as they are people you don't like.
One has to remember this is same president who described many American as grasping to their bibles and guns as if it where a mental disease. The guy is often said to have picked Biden because he also puts his foot in his mouth a lot.
Who the hell cares? Especially since these people were walking around with teabags stapled to everything and carrying 'Teabagging for Jesus!' signs.
Now they're going to act all butthurt? Give me a break.
"Butt hurt"?
I always find these liberal insinuations of homosexual rape and sodomy to be completely without class. One can see, however, that this term has become a staple of the liberal lexicon.
Should the POTUS be casting dispersions toward one group or another? Of course not. It simply demonstrates that Obama does not care, nor represent, a good deal of the nation and is the "divider in chief".
I wonder what the libs would say if a conservative president talked about "liberal loons" or "*******s"?

No link necessary. Obama releases Biden on the public whenever Obama says something foolish because Biden has the uncanny ability to say something so stupid it makes Obama look good.
If Biden runs in 2016 I wonder who he will pick as VP. It's going to have to be someone twice as stupid as Biden in order to make Biden look good when he says something stupid.
How can it be a "rude sexual insult" when they used the very word to describe themselves?
