Obama's Latest Gaffe: 'Like Eating Your Corn Seed'

Somebody should tell President Obama to forget the folksy metaphors. The prez sounds phony mouthing them, and since they are unfamiliar to him, he's apt to get them wrong. As was the case at today's townhall at Binghamton University, when Obama claimed that reducing spending on government programs would be "like eating your corn seed."
You might have thought the man from Illinois would have known that the phrase is "eating your seed corn." Then again, they don't raise much maize in Hyde Park. For good measure, Obama assured the audience that "we don't have an urgent deficit crisis." Let the good times roll!

Shut up and eat your peas! It’s not easy gathering enough votes for a 3rd term.

Yo Barry! We don’t “eat our corn seed”, you moron. We grow corn with it and then turn the corn into fuel to burn in our “enviomental” vehicles. You need to start trying to “evolve” with the times. Living in the past like a Neanderthal isn’t doing you any good.

Yet more compelling anecdotal evidence that this guy genuinely and fundamentally does not understand this country. He is a foreign national, born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia, imported via political parachute to the presidency.
