I disagree. While the recovery will probably take much longer than any of the recessions the US has suffered since WW2, that's a far cry from saying that its glory days are over. The fact that the US still continues to attract the world's best and brightest and the US still continues to reward innovation and novel thinking almost guarantees that the best is still to come.
