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!

The Won is more familiar with arugala.
Reducing spending on government programs is like killing grasshoppers in a corn field.
Cornseed was the name of his first dog.
LOL: bingo!
At least he didn’t get in front of a bunch of farmers and then complain about the price of arugula at Whole Foods. Now THAT would be really stupid!
lolz
his audience won’t notice, of course
Lol
Dumber than dirt when it comes to the real world.
The tinge up their legs distracts them.
LOL!
This Obama is just an absolute subhuman piece of pig vomit, and it really ticks me off what the RINO party lets him get away with. Here is a guy who if he had one ounce of integrity would step to the mic and talk to the black community, particularly the kids telling them how great this country is, that if you work hard and push ahead you get get anywhere. But instead what does he do? He sides with racism. Promotes division, and then people wonder why we’ve been having black kids going out killing people. The guy is utter slime, just scum of the effin’ earth. Here is el primo opportunity to be a role model for black kids, and this absolute scumbag sides with the gangsta way of thinking.
Solitaire, no human contact of any sort, SuperMax, rest of his life, with a knife.
Do not allow him the questionable “grace” of dying in jihad, the only guaranteed path to that whorehouse-in-the-sky his kind calls paradise.
Quit your complaining or they will ship you off to a re eduction camp located in the 57th state.
You have that right. Just like the sycophant audience sitting behind him at the University of Buffalo yesterday didn't have a clue when he called out the "mayor" of Buffalo as Brian Higgins who is the congressman from Buffalo and, by the way, is white whereas the actual mayor of Buffalo is Byron Brown who is very black. The sycophants applauded his every mistaken word! Priceless.
Well said. Obama has the opportunity to help change the lives of black kids for the better. Instead, he inspires diviseness and hatred. This will be a big part of his legacy.
Remember that these are the people who sign petitions to ban water and end women’s sufferage
Obama’s a Hayseed pResident
What an orator! What a genius! What a leader!
Give the poor guy a break.
During his speech he lost focus, let his mind drift off to what he wanted to do to the American people and then confused corn kernels with peanuts.
Happens all the time with guy
LOL! Yup
