Under Obama, U.S. personal freedom ranking slips below France
BY JASON RUSSELL | NOVEMBER 18, 2014 | 12:48 PM
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.
As the Washington Examiner reported this morning, representatives of the Legatum Institute are in the U.S. this week to promote the sixth edition of their Prosperity Index. The index aims to measure aspects of prosperity that typical gross domestic product measurements don’t include, such as entrepreneurship and opportunity, education, and social capital.

Your newly minted R senate just blocked some NSA reform.
But keep blaming it on the black guy.
Sorry new senate takes over in january and besides laundreu hasnt been kicked out on Louisiana yet
Glad Keystone will finally pass in the New a Year and further reduce our dependence on bad energy suppliers. Tom Steyer and his a Green crew’s arrogance and naïveté is breathtaking… They actually think if the US doesn’t provide a market for the oil sands then it will just stay in the ground. But go ahead, let’s import oil from… Venezuela instead.
If you are going to play the race card, at least get your story straight. The “newly minted R Senate” doesn’t take effect until the new year. The Senate is still under D control.
This has been old news for 15 years if not longer as far as our so called personal liberties.
typical racist comments from the left.
