It is very possible that we will never leave Iraq. He even said we will support them which means if there is trouble (an there will be) we could end up right back in there. These places are unstable. they have been since the beginning of recorded history, thee is no reason to think that will change any time soon.
As for the economy, it may not ever get back to what it was. The last bubble we had during the Bush era was mostly created by a falsely overinflated housing market. There are some houses that may never regain the value they once had and until we shift back into a country that sells things and doesn't just try to create wealth out of thin air we will always have issues.
