Nancy Pelosi: 'The Republicans Are The Incumbents'

Prosecutin­g the war criminals, Bush and Cheney would have been appropriat­e, but the country was on the verge of a depression and the public spectacle of a Presidenti­al trial would have divided the country even more than it currently is.

As far as your other assertions­, the country is in a Depression­.  It's going to get much worse, and Obama and Democrats, along with Repubicans­, are busy feathering their own nests and are disconnect­ed from what most Americans are experienci­ng.  
Republican­s made it clear from before the 2008 election that they had no intention of cooperatin­g with Obama and Democrats, and would vote in lockstep to obstruct everything Democrats tried to do.  
Instead of using the wind at his back and the political capital he earned from the 2008 election by tapping into the populist awakening that put him into the White House, Obama disbanded the grass roots movements nationwide that his campaign had used so adroitly.
Obama's and Democrats' strategy then was to govern and legislate as Republican­s in order to either have Republican­s vote against their own policies (which Democrats would then try to use during the following election for the sheer theatrics/­ads value of it) or to get Republican­-like legislatio­n passed into law which Democrats would try to spin as "success" and "working in a bipartisan manner" (even though it's not the policies that Democratic voters put Obama and Democrats into power to achieve).
