The Ventriloquist…

Good morning, Netizens...

David Horsey's cartoon this morning certainly speaks the truth when he portrays Vladamir Putin as a ventriloquist of a sideshow on the walkway of world politics. Being a former KGB man in the Kremlin, and apparently quite good at it, Putin only shows the United States the face he wants us to see, or in this case, hear the voice(s) he wants us to hear.

Is President Obama really aware of Putin pulling the strings of Medvedev, who cannot speak without the say-so of Putin? Is Obama really aware that Putin unquestionably views President Obama as a neophytic poseur to world diplomacy?

Ah, if only ventriloquist's dummies could talk.
