They probably were. My oldest son loved puréed carrots as a baby once he was on solids. Then I noticed he was a little orange around the nose and upper lip. The pediatrician told me it was the carrots.

For The Record, Maxine Waters' Wig Is Better Than Bill O'Reilly's Entire Career | Essence

In response to his comments, Maxine Waters appeared on MSNBC's All In With Chris Hayes and had this to say: "I'm a strong Black woman. I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined. I cannot be thought to be afraid of Bill O'Reilly, or anybody.

I guess Bill O’Reilly can’t call Maxine Waters wig bad, but it’s okay to criticize Trump’s grooming habits.
 
Is it not a poofy combover?

How is that a negative, as opposed to actual description?

Well, let’s see what we’ve got in my lifetime:

Eisenhower – pretty good. The right man at the right time. A very good president. Perhaps not FDR-level great, but pretty good.

Kennedy – we’ll never know.

Johnson – could have been one of the greats, if it weren’t for Vietnam.

Nixon – a brilliant, but unfortunately crooked man. Disgraced his office and our country.

Ford – not bad, under the circumstances, but kind of a blip on the screen.

Carter – not as bad as is often thought, but won’t be remembered as a great president, either.

Reagan – not high on my list.

Bush I – actually a pretty decent president, but perhaps one with an outdated concept of what was needed for the country at that particular moment.

Clinton – another “could have been.” He had the brains, and the charisma, and the political smarts, but tried too hard to please too many, and moved too much to the center.

Bush II – no, not one of the greats.

Obama – very good. I think he might have been better if he’d waited a decade before running, but he saw the moment and seized it.

Trump – well, here we are. I don’t think history will remember him kindly.

The Democratic National Committee could not have said it any better. Right out of the playbook. Very little critical analysis in your list.

Give me a break. It’s a quick post. You want me to write a book? You gotta give me more time.

And you’ll notice that I criticized and praised presidents from both parties.

So what did I write that you disagree with? Am I way off base?

Bill O’Reilly’s offensive dismissal of Rep. Maxine Waters par for his ignorant course

I learned something from Fox News host Bill O’Reilly the other day. James Brown wore a wig. That piece of information is as useless as the ridiculous observation O’Reilly made about U.S…

I’m talking about the crazy obsession some white people have with black women’s hair. Michelle Obama had to deal with it. So have Oprah Winfrey and Viola Davis.

Bill O’Reilly has a ‘crazy obsession’ with Maxine Waters hair because he said her wig was similar to James Brown? But calling Trump ‘cheeto’ or this :

He also chooses to wear his suits too baggy and he wears his ties so long.

Glamour magazine would have put him in the back page under “don’t”.

Let’s see. I think you’re critique of Eisenhower, Ford, and Nixon were pretty spot on. Clinton was a disgrace, he rode the dot.com boom which fizzled out at the end of his administration. Beside that, ask the parents of the kids killed in Somalia, as shown in the movie “Black Hawk Down” how good he was. Kennedy was a disaster, it’s just that he had great PR in a nation of young baby boomers. Carter was a decent man, just in over his head. Your love of LBJ and Obama show your colors. Obama was 7.5 years of OJT and was simply Soros’ puppet, Reagan wasn’t perfect, but better than you consider. Both the Bush administrations were decent. Junior had only one job after 9/11 and that was to insure it didn’t happen again. He succeeded. As to his economics, have to agree they could have been better, but his attention was focused in one place. As to Trump, don’t really like his personality, but he is an animal of a totally different color, not like the Inside the Beltway Crowd. His effect will only be known really, after he is gone. What is unfair is that he is being blamed for things the President has little or no control over. The rabid liberal left crowd with the lap dogs, the media, paint a very distorted picture of this presidency. The man has the mentality of a CEO and not a senator. If you can’t swim, you don’t belong in the pool.

I have no problem with that. LBJ got us the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act, Medicare, and Medicaid, all massively good things.

Yes, those are my colors.

CAF Godwin’s Law. Not worthy of a response. And I don’t know what “OJT” means.

Ask a PATCO member what he thinks of Reagan.

I lived in the D.C. area at the time of the ATC strike. My two next door neighbors and friends were air traffic controllers. Do they like Reagan because he fired them for breaking the law. No, but they did admit that Reagan was well within his rights to do so. You break the law, you lose your job. Only the lap dogs of today’s society where everyone is a “victim” would cite that.

OJT - on the job training. The man never held a position where he made more than 30k a year yet lived in a 1.4 million dollar house. His social security number was from Connecticut and formerly belonged to man now deceased. Explain those two things. Obama was somebody’s puppet. He had no qualifications (or ability) for the job.

Ah, good old socialism. Fix society by giving away other peoples money. As the old saw goes, “the trouble with socialism is that sooner or later, you run out of other people’s money.” Like I said, you show your colors.

OK, now we’re into the conspiracy theory, Alex Jones, stuff. OK, fine. Those things have been explained ad nauseam for years now (and my social security number doesn’t reflect the state in which I was born either – it’s not that big a deal, happens all the time), but you don’t want to hear it.

As I said, CAF Godwin’s Law.

Funny that we were talking about the birther stuff above. It just won’t die.

Social Security numbers are never reissued. Explain to me how Obama’s was?

You know, right, that his wife, Michelle Obama, went to Princeton, and to Harvard Law School, and was an associate at Sidley Austin, one of the mega-firms, where associates make (today) something like $180,000 (or more, at some firms) a year the day they start, right out of law school, and then went on to be a vice president at the University of Chicago hospital system, where she made around $275,000 per year. She was also on more than one board of directors, and picked up another $50,000 or so a year from that. Plus Barack Obama had book royalties coming in.

It’s no mystery how they could afford a million-dollar house. It’s all completely above board.

Interesting, you accuse me of ridiculous “conspiracy” theory stuff, and you won’t answer a simple question that has nothing to do with a conspiracy. Again, SSAN’s are never reissued, how did Obama get a deceased man’s SSAN. No conspiracy, just want to know. I have never heard any good answer to that question.

As to the million + dollar house, fine, I never knew that about his wife. Then again, we know who wore the pants in that family don’t we now? My heavens, I just realized we had a “house husband” as president. Now wonder the Obama lovers hate Trump so much.
