An interesting chart to show to Bush/Repub apologist

Note how freedom lost ground during bush's years. Freedom's on the march? Bullshit. The world is less free and less safe because of bush's "leadership."

2. Interesting
I wonder how much of that decline in "freedom" was due to the actions or inactions of the American president. According to that story there was a net "freedom" loss for 24 countries last year. Are we gonna blame Obama for that?
