I have nothing but contempt for every one of the idiots who show up at his phony speeches. They clap and smile at the creep who is destroying their country. They must be highly educated fools. College campuses are full of them.

Thanks governsleastgovernsbest.
For good measure, Obama assured the audience that "we don't have an urgent deficit crisis."
It's just a non-urgent debt crisis.

... at today's townhall at Binghamton University, when Obama claimed that reducing spending on government programs would be "like eating your corn seed."

Somehow the little sh*ts at the New York Times will miss this gem...

If Bush had said it, they would have been calling for impeachment! /s;)

What the hell is “seed corn”? Not everybody is a hayseed.

I always thought that the kernels were the seed for corn.

I wonder if he’s ever eaten someone’s seed.

Hat tip to Larry Sinclair.

Corn seed? Would that be un-popped pop corn?

I’d prefer corn on the cob.

Can't remember which Royal Excuse Maker said it but weren't we told Obama is so smart, we don't understand him?

Just put a tin pot on his head and call him “Barry Cornseed.”

(Do I need to explain the joke?)

Yes, the kernels are the seed for corn.

But, it’s nearly universally referred to as “seed corn”; that’s just the say it is.

And the smartest guy in the world, from a state which is a significant producer of corn, didn’t know that.

“Eating the seed corn” is such a great metaphor. It’s a crime to see him misuse it. It means eating up the seed for next year’s crop instead of saving it for planting. Even a city girl knows that. So in truth, it’s spending that is eating the seed corn, not refraining from spending.

I'm disappointed in you all.

She does it, and "It's cute"

Obama does it, and for some reason it's not.

Why?
