For the most part Obama has led from the center and that's been the problem. Had he led from the Left the GOP would have been in a position of forced compromise and taken some ownership over governance the past three years.
Instead he's led with middle positions which left himself open to attacks from both sides.
When people claim that we're becoming less free perhaps they should think of what else could be. Remember that regulation tends to be reactive, at times perhaps over-reactive for sure, but it's a response to forces the individual can't defend against.
Sugar...Hasn't it been big business that's infected our food supply with high-fructose corn syrup primarily because it's cheap and leads to larger profits? I'd note that consumer choices here have perhaps led to a few more options but not really modeled the macro behavior of producers. If anything they've just become more skilled at hiding where their profit margins come from.
