The market was around 12-14k a year before Obama took office, so for it to be 17k 8 years later isn't all that great. Plus pretty much every economist has said that it was the slowest recovery since WWII. But that was because Obama put tons of regulations on all kinds of shit in the US costing us trillions.
The only good thing Obama did was let the many phases of QE go through that Bush (who by the way caused this whole mess) set in motion before he dipped out.
