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!

I believe he is the smartest person in the room when he’s speaking at these functions. Or when he spoke at the convention.

Charles Manson was right. There will be a race war and, with the help of the government, the blacks will win and will need someone to lead them. They’ll pick Obama. Did this already happen back when I was drinking too much?
