Sorry man can't help ya there I've no experience of US plug sockets (UK one's not a problem!) all I know is ya Black lead is normally live and White is normally negative in the US.

Black is hot, and goes to the narrow plug. Neutral is white, and goes to the wide one.
Unfortunately, you can't use that plug. You need to get a grounded cable, so you can connect FG to ground (green or green/yellow). Connecting the ground is very very important with switching power supplies like that one.

The power suplies definately DON'T come from Wally world. eBay or a surplus dealer are your best bets on that one.

This is a nice little PS. I purchased it from someone but they had it hooked up with on the pos and neg wire, the ground was left out. I went ahead and cut an older extension cord with the ground and soldered the wires directly on the post. I haven't had any problems with this power supply

So If I buy the cord with the rings at the ends of the wires screw them on in the right spots and put some type of silicon oo top to keep anything from shorting it, I should be ok? Is there anyway I could easily make it so I can use the clips of a charger on it?
