I would say the economy is crippling along. Still hasn't recovered from the crash of 2008.
It is historically the longest period of "recovery" in history. The Great Depression had a faster "recovery" (thanks WW2).

Is that Obama's fault?
In my opinion he made several moves that hindered progress. Starting with ObamaCare.
And many things he DIDN'T do that could have helped move the economy in my opinion.

I don't think any historians or economists will look back on the Obama years as "booming" in any way, shape, or form.
