You’ve wondered about that feeling you’ve had for a few years now: where are my freedoms going?  Why do I feel less free?

Because it’s true; Americans are losing freedom, courtesy of Mr Obama.

Under Obama, U.S. personal freedom ranking slips below France

by Jason Russell

Americans’ assessments of their personal freedom have significantly declined under President Obama, according to a new study from the Legatum Institute in London, and the United States now ranks below 20 other countries on this measure.

The research shows that citizens of countries including France, Uruguay, and Costa Rica now feel that they enjoy more personal freedom than Americans.

“This is not a good report for Obama,” Legatum Institute spokeswoman Cristina Odone told the Washington Examiner.

In the 2010 report (which relied on data gathered in 2009), the U.S. was ranked ninth in personal freedom, but that ranking has since fallen to 21st, with several countries, including France, Germany and the United Kingdom passing the U.S.

Frankly, Obama couldn’t care less.

There is no denying that Americans felt less free in 2013 after four more years of Obama’s presidency. And so now he faces the embarrassment of being the president that made Americans feel less free than the French.

Merci, monsieur le president.
