Obama 11 on FP Top 100 Global Thinker List (Single Page)

The FP Top 100 Global Thinkers | Foreign Policy: "Conservative critics of the White House may have turned the idea of "leading from behind" into a punch line as soon as it appeared as an anonymous quote from an administration advisor 9,000 words into a New Yorker article, but it is quickly becoming Barack Obama's most enduring foreign-policy legacy -- and not necessarily as the insult his rivals saw it.
