The great depression was much worse, not all that comparable. Also there was a trade war, and such negative policies as the National Recovery Administration, and Agricultural Adjustment Act/Administration along with massive tax rate increases. Obama's had negative policies as well, but nothing approaching those, not even Obamacare. The general trend is that this recovery has been slower then other recoveries connected to a financial crisis. Also that set of recoveries has not generally been weaker then the norm (at least in the US) despite your assertion otherwise.
