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

And I was feeling sooooo good about the country before. BHO: our Hugo Chavez without any of the cool Caudillo schtick. Sigh.

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.

In other news, Americans' "we're so screwed" ranking surged to be higher than 38 other countries, including Kreplachistan and Lower Ruritania.
