The dollar doesn't seem to have moved much since 2008. Versus the Euro, it was on a downward trend from ~2004 until mid-2008 or so, but it's been flat since then, albeit with significant volatility: http://www.google.com//finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1... Against other currencies, it's down versus the Japanese Yen, but up versus the UK Pound.
In terms of domestic prices, inflation has been running around 1-2%, and futures/bond markets are pricing in an expectation of no inflation, or even possibly deflation, through 2020 or so (with particularly strong consensus in the 5-year window through 2016).
The dollar hit a record low in 2008, not just against foreign currencies but also against measures of value such as gold, soybeans, corn, etc. It got stronger in the intervening years (as you note), except against gold, and is now back down to the 2008 level, more or less.
